Wore out three sets of tires already!
Sparkplug and mrg,The paint color has been just one of the things that has been fouling me up on the restoration of my 1967 Deluxe Stingray. If I could impose on your knowledge, do you know which shade and type was used in 1967? And where I can get the paint. Thanks!
I’m not sure how long, or what all the colors used the New Bronze Fleck that started in 1966.
I only own 2 1966 Stingrays and they are both late builds (the above Radiant Violet KB and a Radiant Coppertone LB below).
The LB is a lead up to the 1967 model year so that indicates the Bronze Fleck probably continued in ‘67.
Although it’s difficult to see the Bronze in the Coppertone paint, it’s visible in a few of my photos.
My 1970 Schwinn catalog is showing the “Flek” enamel in various colors.
It would be nice the see other examples of nice Original Factory paint on the ‘66 and newer Stingrays in the three colors Schwinn mentions.
Or maybe some of you Facebook people could inquire with all the experts over there on this ”Bronze Fleck” matter.
