Disco - I had started a thread just on the very topic, but for Candy Gold. I tried to get Don to send a kit across the border but he said it was a real headache. So I went to a local custom paint shop and they told me they could match Candy Gold no problem. I brought them a sidecase and they scanned it 3 or 4 times. It gave a formula, but said it had to be "adjusted" to be a perfect match. They sent the results off to the main plant who again said no problem. Took about a week for the paint to arrive and it looked like candy mustard in the can. No sweat I was again told. Anyway I got my painter to apply it and it did turn out like Candy Gold - if it was blinding sunlight 24 hours a day. The lightest hue was a dead perfect match, but when any shadow hit it, it still stood brilliant.
So I went through about three or four people and laid an underground railroad, much like Harriet Tubman, to get Don's kits to arrive here.
I have both Candy Gold and Flake Sunrise Orange en route. I fully intend to post the results when they are made known. So far the paint is still in the US. I'm waiting for one guy, who is on vacation, to bring it across. Then only one last 1500 mile trip and its here!
The paint is holding up the K2 project, and I just got a good (supposedly) set of sidecases for the K5/K3 off of eBay this week so the Sunrise Orange can be sprayed when the cases arrive.
Pictures will be posted - unless they are a complete disaster like the last batch.
