I am in the process of restoring my 1977 elsinore 125. I ordered some replacement fenders from vmx. Does anybody have a source for acrylic enamel in the correct color or a color code for that year?

I spent some time looking for a match off the shelf. This is what I came up with. Pretty close match to vmx plastic

Very nice! What kind of paint is that? The picture was kinda of blurry. Did you spray the fenders yourself & if so did you use any clear. They came out very nice.

Thanks

The fenders are plastic from VMX. The paint is a match for the fenders that I finally found. It is omni ae paint. I have so far painted the frame and swingarm. i am away from home for a few days. If you want I can get the number off the can or get a better pic of the can.... Steve

That would be great. I'm building a 76 CR125. Always up for new ideas.

Thanks
