Has anybody found a nail polish or paint that closely matches the aqua green colour of the Flare frame? I’ve been searching for a while now with no luck. Bought the bike used and it has a fair few minor rubs. Plan on keeping it for a long time so I’d like to cover the worst bits before adding protection.
I bet you there's an SI unit of colour that Cotic used to specify the bike, and you could get that from somewhere...
Have you asked them? They told me which number Revell paint to buy for my Solaris.
If you are talking this colour?

Then it’s Tamiya-colour X-15.
if you have trouble sourcing drop me a pm.
When I asked about one of their droplink bike colours, I was told that there was no RAL equivalent available, so I suspect that it might be the same for the Aqua.
It's not that one MH.
Ah, sorry.
Cy will advise if there’s an equivalent (he advised re. the above one...)
Cy did kindly advise me, but the colour was nothing like the frame 😕

Sorry, I laughed...
i can offer you some X-15, should be as close a match... 🤣
At least it wasn't pink 👍 *
*one for the Cotic fanbois
Sorry, I laughed…
So did I 😀
Not sure if I got a dodgy batch or if Cy was thinking of a different colour.
Colour ref is Pantone 3255C.
I've emailed Paul to see if he's found a close paint in model paint, he normally has something.
The example poor patch up job up there looks like a close match for the duckegg paint, it's obviously not the aqua.
Thanks Kelvin - I was probably vague in my description to Cy. Revel Helblaux was the colour recommended. It does look like the Duck egg colour, I didn’t realise until you mentioned it. Embarrassing considering I owned a Road Rat in that colour.
