Hi,
Looking to get my N2 (same as F2) wheels powder coated. Anyone know which (red) RAL colour is the best match to original and if gloss or satin?
Wheels are so faded marked it's hard to tell.

Ford Radiant Red is almost an exact match. I use it all the time for red Yam bits.

Don't Powder coat .. it's Ugly stuff.
Simple repaint.. with a brush.. Looks better and costs .. dick.

Don't Powder coat .. it's Ugly stuff. Simple repaint.. with a brush.. Looks better and costs .. dick. It’s ugly, in your opinion maybe. However it’s a real bonus when fitting tyres as it is far more resilient to the fitting machine. Another advantage is being thicker than OEM paint it covers the pitting in the casting better. This has the advantage of making wheels easier to clean. A bonus for the rear wheel. Jon |

I painted my wheels with a brush and they look fine, easier to touch up too
BTW the frame is powder coated though

And that my old mucker is half the problem. They spout them like verbal diarrhoea and include judgements. Just because you may not like someone’s ideas don’t be judgmental we are all different. That’s what makes this forum.

Oh and I am going to make a Tamiya model replica of my bike as well 👍 Only my opinion but you may want to reconsider that... You'll only go upsetting our colonial friend. He's already made it quite clear that these kits don't look realistic even when built by someone with considerable modelling skills. Anyhow I'm sure he'll be a long in a minute with another post in his unique version of the English language. |

Anyone would consider it to be bare baiting?
I’m actually rather fond of his outbursts makes me smile that someone could be that opinionated
