Candy Jackal Blue is doing my head in. I bought a sample from RS paints and it is nowhere near what I believe the shade should be.I've only got an old headlamp bracket to compare it to and it is too faded to be precise.

Do any of you kind gentlemen have a NOS part in that colour I can carefully borrow to try and match the shade ? The paint code is 195 if you have a part label with it. It is also called Newport Blue. Kev

PS: Paul supplied me with just an item when I refreshed his parts ( :o ) but I duly repainted it pink :? :?
Can anyone help here chaps? Beer tokens if necessary :)
I know I keep boring folk with stuff like this but it is a particular obsession of mine (amongst others) :roll:

I sourced a NOS headlamp bracket in Candy Jackal Blue. The photo shows the speedshape painted in the RS Paints version against the bracket. Nothing like :(

From what I can gather, if you send a part to them they wil accurately match the colour but this is the second go I've had (Candy Rose Red being the other) and they are miles out

Looks like Heaven to me Kev - RS Paint colour does seem to vary quite a bit - got a few GT bikes here in candy Gipsy Red which we have painted ourselves and no two are the same

And I do have to stop obsessing but my view is folks pay a lot of money to buy this stuff so it should be right. I'll shut up now :lol:
