Hi Gents,

Am looking to get some paint made up to tidy up the mud guards on my 97 T Bird.

(All my new bits arrived today : )

Stupid question maybe, but I cant seem to find a definitive answer on google : )

Is my bike (pictured) Cardinal Red, or Cherry red? And does anyone know the paint code for the appropriate colour?

Thanks in advance,
P

Yes, sorry Pete, I didn't look hard enough at the picture to see the cream and was swayed by the 1997!

And to make it worse I was going to say that you sometimes have to ignore the year of registration because the bike may be a late registration (as yours is!) or as Triumph have done with the Thunderbird Sport for example, started producing the next model year's colours early. My bike for example was registered in October 2003 so really should have been orange and black but is actually in the 2004 colours of black and yellow.

This is original as I have the original invoice when the bike was purchased and says black and yellow.

Glad you're sorted anyhow.
