R51/3 Paint specification

Post by MR DEAN PLUMRIDGE »

I would be most grateful if any could advise me on the correct paint type and shade I should use on the restoration of my 51/3 (1951) I have seen many black paint finishes on restorations, but I am sure there is one correct for my bike. Some I feel are too glossy,and some too heavy, for reasons of cover up Im sure (powder coat) Many people think black is black but this is not the case.
Many thanks Dean.
