Hi,

We are in process of repainting the bike.

We are thinking of Satin Black as a colour. Any recommendations of type of paint and colour

I would always say, do not consider a restored bike as being correct. Always go by manufactures specifications in sales cats.
However, here's another restored bike picture which I believe is correct, see if others agree.

If you blow up the first picture you were shown, I would say the rear No. plate is very strange, no idea what that's off, rear light wrong, tank lining wrong and headlamp appears to be chrome plated not black.
