Vintage Brown & Cream Paints?

Posts: 27
Hey all! Thanks for having me.
I’m currently working on an eBike conversion and decided to get a vintage frame for it. Managed to get my hands on a nice Peugeot Mixte frame.
It’s a bit worn and rusted which is fine because I’m planning to redo the paint anyway.
I’m quite taken with the gorgeous brown and cream paint jobs on a lot of vintage style bikes and I’m looking for a brand and colour name for cream and brown, preferably in metallic, and was wondering if anyone on the forum has some recommendations from their own experience?
Many thanks,
Sam

Commercial refinishers/painters will have their own brands and colour charts (like Argos Cycles does) so they are unlikely to go with your own brand choice, unless it matches theirs already.
If you are painting it yourself, then just go with any reliable mainstream brand which has the colours you are after and you can buy locally.0 -
just go the local paint factor and they will make anything you want.

Yes, I’m painting it myself. Unfortunately there aren’t any paint shops here in the middle of nowhere so I’m having to go by internet pictures. I think I’ve found some good ones but was hoping for recommendations I can trust more than an Internet pic.0 -
Local paint factory? I don’t know anywhere in the entire country that manufactures paint let alone allows you to make one to your specifications. There probably are some manufacturers but they’ll work for name brand paints.Matthewfalle wrote:just go the local paint factor and they will make anything you want.

not factory, factor. two different places.
the place that supplies paint to the motor trade.
commonly found on industrial estates - ask your local car repair shop where it is.
the factor will make up anything you want in any quantity in any form.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
