Has anyone had any joy sourcing a good match for the 'hot pink' paint used on Cro-mega LX '91?

Hello.

Over the years I've done up a few cro mega. 90, 91 and 92.

The reds I had done in powder coat and, just asked for a light red.

The results I will have to take my chances with photo-bucket and try resurrect.

We see these machines in an old and faded state. Basically pink-looking.

For me, go really light red and use/wash it often. :wink:

An actual paint code will be tough as a stars had all sorts of warranty issues.

I'm still looking for a pic of the 1990 cromega.

Below is a 1991 DX. I dont own it any longer but the decals
were from gil_m. Basically spot on.
