Murray Missile , I'm very happy to find this thread as I've recently picked up a Carlton for my household. Really enjoyed your thinking here and wondered how you're getting on, particularly with the repaint. Mine has what I think is original paint in the team BMB subtle metallic blue, yellow and white, but it's in pretty rough shape and I'm pondering a process to you. Did you end up stripping/blasting and going with the metallic copper? How did it go? Were you able to get a color match?
