I use the water slide M in silver , with lacquer over the top , part no 011051 in spares scheme . you have to be careful with lacquer to make sure the transfer is not effected

From the 1949 factory sales brochure if it helps........

Same bike as brochure, it has the metal M with wings, it's the D I'm inquiring about should it be white or silver ? Are there decals available or just get them painted .

Hi does this file on the archives help? http://archives.jampot.dk/technical/Tan ... ackson.pdf It mentions a single blue pinstripe in the centre but I cant see mention of the base colour.
The "D" transfers can be somewhat tricky to install neatly, so if painting is an option I would go for it.
Classic Transfers have a selection of the "D's".https://classictransfers.co.uk/product- ... matchless/
