A company based in Retford found the code in their records to enable me to paint my Barford Atom. They name their red, Post Office/Cherry Red. A number 921002L is also shown on the label. Their paint is a quality product that both sprays and brushes. I used it to paint the wheels Coastguard Yellow, 4488553. Unfortunately they do not quote a standard colour code. The numbers may only be batch numbers. I have no connection with this company except as a satisfied customer.

Thanks for the help. I agree the I could paint any colour that suited me but it is the same amount of work to paint it the correct colour, so that is why I asked. Also in looking at a British Standard colour chart I see that Carnival red is shown to be the name for two colours, BS04E53 and BS04E56. The latter one is darker. Names are really meaningless we should quote British standards. It would be good if the club posted a chart of known colours, updated as time goes on.

Here is a photo of my bracket. I hope that it has attached.

Thanks Charlie. I wasn’t aware of the dump trailer existing. I now see how the brakes would work. With the information you are to send I should be able to restore it. The wheels and dump tub will be the difficult bits.
