Litespeed red paint match

Davebo777

The paintwork on the front fork of my Litespeed Vela (c. 2005) is really badly flaking. The alu underneath is also getting pretty mashed so i want to strip it down and repaint it. Does anyone know how I can match the bright red paint please ?

Oh, and a source for new stickers would be an extra bonus. :-)

i tried messaging Litespeed from their website (twice) but got no reply.

Thanks in advance, DM.

Automotive paint finishers can match from a paint chip but probably as easy to wheel the Halfords and look at the cans of paint. Don't forget the etch-primer for bare alloy.
Plenty of Litespeed transfers on ebay.

Thanks for the reply. I got bored waiting for Litespeed so went to Halfords. Their Fiat Red Orange looked a perfect match but the test came out too light. Went for Fiat Tiziano Red in the end and it looks okay but with the grey (acid etch) primer underneath is maybe half a shade dark. I'll notice it but probably nobody else will and besides it is a million times better than the grotty peeling monstrosity that I had before.
Will post a picture when I've lacquered it all.
