Well, not so much about matching the color as the finish...
The bike isn't a SOHC4, but the question may be pertinent to others here, so....
I picked up this NOS Mojave tank for my KZ250 project. It's one of his "first quality" tanks and, while not perfect, is very, very nice.
I'm not even crazy about the color, but it seems such a shame to paint a perfectly good tank. Especially one that's been in a crate for the last 30-some years.
I have no doubt that a good paint shop can match the color. My question is about the gloss of the clear coat that will be on the tail piece. It would obviously be much shinier than the tank. (What kind of paint/finish do you think would be on a nearly 40 year old Italian tank, BTW?)
Can the tank be cleared over to make the gloss match? Is there a way to match modern paint to the finish (not color...the gloss or finish) on the tank?
Lastly, what do you think of silver side covers with a white number circle? (The frame will be black)
