Hi guys,

Got another quick question... Don't hate me, lol.

I'm also going to refurb my KONI'S as they've got a bit manky... I've looked on the net and they are done in Dupli-color "school bus yellow" (best match), but that's an American produced paint and I can't get it here in the UK easily!

Anyone refurbed theirs and if so what paint (aerosol) did you use?? Want them to look 100% original though!

Also I can see you can't get the Koni decals on eBay, anyone had these and know what their like?

Cheers and I'll leave you be now, honest, lol.

Cheers

MF Industrial Yellow... just go to your logal agricultural store or dealership and get it. Rattle can or in 1litre pot.
Near on perfect match, good paint and usually cheaper too.

Cheers for the replies guys I'm must say the ones in those photos came out bloody well!! If mine look like that I'll be a happy chappy I've since bought the hammerite yellow and decals so am going to get mine off and blasted soon. Wish me luck and I really hope they end up looking half as good as those!

They look sweet! Good work

The colour it close too, i was thinking Golden Yellow/Signal Gelb which i think is RAL 1003 but it think you have a closer match.

Jcb yellow is a good match,2k,about 1/2litre should do that mixed to 1litre.

JBC Yellow / Dafodil Yellow is RAL1007 for those interested.
