Tonti LeMans color question/frame needed
« on: April 01, 2025, 03:09:04 PM »
1. I'd loke to touch up my CX100.  If there a good color match?  I've heard the red on all Tonti LeMans is the same.

2. I need an early short stem Tonti frame for a project.  LM 3 is preferred, but not required.  I live in Az. so something close would save shipping.

Maybe all the same? but mine has definitely faded. It's got a definite orange tint to the red, in fact when I was looking for paint for the LM1 style fairing the best match I found was 'Hycote XDFT502 Fiat red orange'.


Definitely not as red as Ducati 'rosso corsa'.

Go to a PPG or any auto paint supplier and have them scan the tank and they can match the color.

Nope, sorry.  I'd love to own one.  I do own a Pantah and a Paso Ltd.
