Cardinal 77x colours

Post by Jeff Smith »

I’ve got a mechanically perfect but , cosmetic disaster of a 77x ( the metallic brown body with cream rotor 1977/78 version) and was thinking of doing a rattle can re- spray.
Has anyone got any idea of a close match for the colours??

I think Ray Moss used to do repainting of old Cardinal reels on here. Is he still around? He would know the colours to use.
