I did a tonne of research over the dreadful winter looking for paint info on the DL-180 Blue Mink. Came up empty handed so far. Rumors were floating that Duplicolor Avignon Blue Metallic was a match but I do not think so - too pale and no hint of green. Now my frame has that Blue Mink as the first coat but has a bit darker blue overcoat from who-knows-when and who-knows-who. It looks like Worksop work but I've no idea why they would repaint it. Anyway I then found Duplicolor BGM0423 Medium Maui Blue metallic. Had to order from Amazon since no stores around here (within 100 miles) carried it in stock. As you can see it was a surprisingly close match. A bit lighter but not bad, eh?
I taped the lugs at each end of the TT and DT then sprayed according to Duplicolor instructions on a perfect day - probably 4 coats. Overcoated with Duplicor clear coat - three coats. The blue did darken a whisker with the clear coat on it (as predicted). I sprayed some of the blue into an empty and clean soda can and used a
#3 artists brush to touch up nicks and gouges elsewhere too. FYI the sprayed paint stays workable for quite some time when sprayed into a container for brushing. It did not flash dry PDQ. Quite helpful. I loaded the brush very lightly to prevent globs of blue that would need smoothing. As I said above, I then stashed it up under the rafters for 2 weeks to let it fully cure.
I used Tamiya Color acrylic paint 81532 "Titanium Silver" to touch up gouges on the silver bands and HT. Not as good a match as I'd hoped for but it'll keep water away from the steel. It dried too glossy so I buffed the surface with an old Scotchbrite maroon pad. Helped a little. As you can see I then covered it up with the FD and the frame pump. Not my best work.
I used Testors modeling enamel - 1182 Flat Brass and a
#3 artist brush to touch up the lining. That came out OK. Gold would have been too bright and glossy. The Flat Brass is too much on the orange side but if you "maintain a safe distance" it works. It also helps if your eyes don't see too good no more. It was clear that the lining that was on my frame was flat vs gloss. The lining on most of the Raleigh Pro images on da www looks like flat paint too.
Close inspection will also show that I've daubed Testors 1732 Light Gray enamel in spots just for kicks: inside the seat post binder bolt, on the ends of the crank spindle (I prolly will not use dust covers), inside the stem bolts. I sorta like to do that vs dark grungy holes. Justa bit of bling. Ok if one does not go overboard.
