Paint
OK, so the inevitable happens, and you need touch-up paint. The paint is available from Triumph dealers of course, but here is a useful reference for DuPont paint codes (1998 Colour Index), as an alternative. Standox is a subsidiary of DuPont and in the USA they can be contacted at Plymouth MI, on 734-454-4556. They will fax you the exact mixing formula, and the details of the nearest distributor who can do it for you. The telephone number for DuPont is 1-800-338-7667 and they can also provide colour matching information.

You can also visit the Standox information page where you can type in Motorcycles, Triumph under "Special Search", and select your colour. The paint details can then be printed out.

Frames
Mark 2 Grey engines - Ivor Collins suggests to improve the appearance of corroded or shoddy looking parts to remove and scrape off the worst and then shot blast to get in between the ribs. Then use aerosol Rover Metallic Stone Grey and finally Clear Lacquer to finish it off. Professional paint and sprayer for such a small area being too costly.

After three years it is still looking good though the lacquer gives it a depth of shine a little too good so for authenticity so you may want to skip this step.

Vauxhall Moonland is also almost indistinguishable to Ivor (with my one colour receptor) so you could give that a try also.

Decals
The Triumph decals can cost a fortune, but you could try Signs Display of Hull in the UK (Tel: 01482 323594) as they have supplied group owners from time to time. Another supplier is Sign Print and you will find Trophy at the bottom of the page. They sell on ebay, too. A supplier of flag and pannier decals for Triumphs is Ride Team Triumph and for custom Triumph decals in unusual colours, try All Out Graphics
