Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Hello I'm trying to repart a Berkshire Blue Columbia and I need to paint match a couple parts. I want to recreate that super thin almost milk paint like finish of the original paint. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to begin? I know I can't just go to the hardware store and buy some Krylon and expect any kind of success. @Velocipedist Co. @MrColumbia
 
Can't you find any original paint parts that match?
Nope. I'm looking for this guard specifically, the one you offered is Brewster green I believe. But thanks!

This bike was originally painted with Dupont Dulux Enamel which is no longer available.
Rustoleum out of a can (its oil based paint!) cut with 30% mineral spirits rolled on in multiple coats and sanded with six hundred grit between, then baked at one fifty degrees should work fine.
Add a bit of white to blue and it will lighten up...
 
Take the bike to auto paint shop they will
give you the color code for that paint.
