Original Paint Colors?
« on: November 29, 2007, 07:13:18 PM »
Is there any resource for information regarding original paint colors?  I am wondering if my bike (1975 550F) is still covered in factory paint.  Upon removal of the tank, I found that the underside is the same blue color, just not clearcoated.  I realize that it's missing the "Super Sport" lettering, but it seems like this could have easily been removed by a P.O. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
-Casey

Thanks for the links, USN.  It looks like I've got a Candy Saphire Blue original paint job.  I guess there will be no bashing of this tank.
