    Thanks all for the replies ,will chase down the National Motorcycle Museum ,the Triumph owners club leads to the RS paint site . The TR registry I think is cars not motorcycles! as the paint names dont seem to match the motorcycle ones.
    BTW 2 strokes dont run well on diesel lol

    My '69 Bonneville was metallic red (top of tank) over silver (the bottom bit). Can't remember the actual paint names - I'm old and it was a long time ago!:(

    You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.:cool:

    I am the proud owner of a bus pass, and our kind and most benevolent government are insisting on paying me to stay at home now that I have become of 'a certain age'!:eek:

    I feel that I have now been duly 'let off' by your good self.:D My heartfelt appreciation is yours to savour.:)
