ajs 14csr blue
Hi, can anyone tell me the tank colour code or a close modern approximation for the ajs lightweight 250 (1965)as I am restoring one and wish to freshen up the paint, fortunately the chrome is good. Many thanks, John, Dorset.

Welcome to the Forum John.
This may help. Model 14 is listed but only for 1959. Depends what 'blue' you have now as yours may not be factory original paint. They can supply 'touch up' as well as bulk quantitties.
Maybe give them a call?

The lightweight CSR AJS had like a metalic paint. But nothing like a modern metalic paint. From wear on the AJS blue also Matchless red on bikes I have, seem to suggest they were first sprayed sliver, then a very thin coating of red or blue, to give what we now call the metalic effect. I guess the thin colour coat was also then sprayed with clear. So it would be almost imposible to get a modern one coat metalic paint to look like the original finish.

On my 14 I used Ford Monza Electric Blue as many people before me have done, not sure if its the right blue for a 65 machine, mine was 62.
Its easily available from most auto paint stockists
Heres the colour........
