Kona's are great! Nice frames, good luck!

why paint the frame ? its in nice original condition, just give it a good clean and be done with it!

I think i want a '94 Explosif.

I would love an explosive too .

but I would put drop bars on it :shock: , the frames always look like a comfortable fast lightweight commuter .

Welcome Kona_man

Welcome!

I have previously emailed Kona about paint codes.
They said their colours were specific to Kona. Meaning that they don't match any "standard", international RAL paint codes etc.

As said above: If the existing paint is OK, just ride it!
Re-painting a frame can be expensive. Unless you pay to get it done properly (including the correct stickers) then it will probably look worse than the original paint (and actually be worth less, too!).

Have fun!
