That's the best result I get on google. Wondered I'd anyone had actually compared that colour to and original frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outkast Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Try RS bike paints, they claim to match Ducati colours but there paint names are different to Ducatis Just looked you need to add year and engine colour to get the frsme colour Edited January 9, 2021 by outkast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nobody managed to get an exact match yet? With the amount early bikes are going for I'm amazed if nobody has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRM Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I did a local repair on my 916 frame near the footpeg, closest i got was a fiat colour and no laquer and it while it matched, it still was too shiny - but way closer that some of these "restored" chinese gold frames you see on tarted up 916's This was over 18 years ago now though Duncan. will see what i can find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdunc Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yeah "chinese gold" is exactly what I want to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really what I'm after. It appears their were 4 or 5 variants of the frame gold over the years. I found out who does Lougi Moto's paint work, and he seams to have done a few frames which look spot on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
