Does anyone know of a touch up paint which resembles the flourescent orange of the 89/93 clockwork.
I have looked up 2 possibillities 1.plasticote B-27 orange glow and 2. Humbrol flourescent orange.

Has anyone had a go themselves?.
 
Fishing floats are the nearest thing i have found that have a similar paint finish. I have a 1989 clockwork and a 93 prestige, but both the orange finishes are different.
Rooting through my assortment of course fishing floats i found 2 which matched the frames.

Thanks for the info.
I'm trying to keep the original paintwork so I am looking for the best match possible to patch up the chips.
I went onto a fishing forum and found out that the paint used for the floats is an almost perfect match for my 93 prestige. The paint is made by plasticote and it's known as B-27 orange glow.
 
Re:

Ask Bob Jacksons what colour they used for the 2007's mate. That was a decent match, although as you mention the orange colour changed regularly over the orange/white fade period. Bet I've seen at least 4 different versions from carrot orange to day glo to almost red.
