Title: CPC464 grey metalwork paint colour?
Post by: pledg on 18:05, 19 December 20

Hi,

I'm currently restoring another CPC464 and I have a keyboard badge and tape deck metal badge with a few scratches/chips I'd like to have a go at re-touching.

Normally I'd leave these as acceptable wear but they're a little beyond acceptable.

Is there a colour reference of any kind for the Amstrad grey.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Pledg.

I guess a good reference should be a RAL code?

I think someone made a sticker to replace the artwork on the disc drive cover?

Someone created "modern and updated" ones, but I found them gawdy as hell to look at.
Made the CPC look almost 'Fisher Price' like.

Pretty sure Bryce was referring to something else but now I want to see these too😁
