Does anyone have a 1972 T500 in the Cascade Green, I want to do mine that colour but only have a brochure scan to go by, it's a bit like the 69 T250 colour.
Need to know what colour closely matches it, also the white, is it white or a cream, Any assistance?

may have worked it out, 1973 GT250K has what looks like the same colour, and as it happens I have a tank here in that green colour, bit faded but if I polish it it should come back pretty close.

It looks the same colour to me, I have seen different
brochure's of the 75 T500 M, some brochure's with a colour called Maui Blue & another calling it Corrado blue or something like that.

Likewise, I am getting set to repaint my 75 GT380, and I think the current paint color is not original. How do I get a paint code I can take to a paint shop for Stardust Silver ?

hi everyone, I need some paint measurements for the white part on the tank, please see pic below, I need to know if the white runs along the top or lower crease, what is the distance from the bottom of the badge and is there a pin line on the white outer and what colour is it. Anyone know, thanks.
