Lemans 2 Black And Gold

[Martin_Penk]

I am about to undergo the full restoration of my old mk 2 lemans which is one of the original special edition versions from Coburn and Hughes with the Black And Gold paint work. I’m trying to ascertain the paint code for the gold. I think someone has tried to repaint my bike at some point so there are two colours and a lot of variation due to the age. Does anybody know the paint code for this or has anybody undertaken a restoration of the paint work on one of these and if so what colour paint was used?

was used?

Thanks.

General opinion is that these were painted by Dream Machine in Long Eaton.
The story goes the Coburn & Hughes had a lot of Mk 2 Le-Mans in stock when Guzzi announced the release of the Mk 3 version and so they tarted up the old stock bikes to sell them off.

You may want to try this.

This was the best match I could find for the gold on the Black Prince, another special done by Dream Machine.

This is this paint on my Spada Fairing and side panels
