Don't know if it's the same colour as your bike but Ford Electric/Monza blue (from Halfords) is a close match to the AJS Model 30 & 31's colour

Not sure of the model, but there's a Vauxhall colour really close, I'll try to find out and let you know.

Reminds me of the bloke who went into a chemists and asked for some deodorant....the chemist asks 'Aerosol or ball type?'

'Ummmmmm', says the bloke,



'Its for under me arms!!!!'

Top tip - if it needs more than 2 bolts to hold it on, its probably important...

If you can get the original paint spec code.phone Car Colours they are in Romford Essex 01708 746468 they will mix it and put it in a 400 ml spray can approx £6/£8.If you have any colour on the panels they will match it takes about half hour to do.NOT far from Chingford either.Edited by - ksg on 05 May 2010 06:41:23 AM

Stuart,
If you join the Club, you could probably obtain the original paint code from our Helpliner. Membership does have other advantages as well, and you meet some wonderful oddbods !
