Can anyone identify the paint colour on this Holdsworth bike? I'm pretty new to this game, but I am restoring it at the moment and would like to patch it up using the exact colour if possible! If anyone has any inside knowledge I'd appreciate it! Thanks

Hello, cant help you with the exact colour but I would imagine it would be a BS colour of the period.
What may also be useful is UK basic car paints of that era i.e. Ford, Austin etc as most standard colour paints would have come from the big chemical companies.
Take a look at the colour charts here they should be able to help.

Before you paint its worth spending an hour cleaning the frame and T cutting it to see what you actually have because it will undoubtedly be oxidised.

Re: Re:
Really, is that how they did it? I've got a 1983 Holdsworth Mistral which the catalogue says is sable brown pearl. I've never managed to colour-match that.Ray_72":2zsen47w said:

Sadly there doesn't seem to be a touch-up paint on offer. I've seen a few spray cans.
