OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Paint and Decals Paint colours for VICTAS ?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows or has a list of paint colours used for older VICTA mowers?

I have a 74'/75' VICTA Utility, looks like an orange. Someone suggested International Orange, though thought I'd ask here first.

If not, would it be possible to make a thread where people can post colours that they've found or used in restoration ?

international or chevy orange are the popular choices and close enough to correct for the old girls or take a sample to a paint store and see if they can match it up for you , some even stuff it in a spray can too , but sit down when they tell you a price mate .

Is that the same red as the 500 Twin?
Where do you get these Chevy/ Inter reds? In a home decorator grade paint shop or Automotive paint store?

Thanks VCCOMM :), I did find a aerosol of International Orange at supercheap and autobarn for $4.30 .. only the cheap paints.. not sure how well they cover... ill have a look into CHEVY Orange

[EDIT] found some CHEVY orange though much more costly than the international orange.. but my guess is its better quality paint..

INTERNATIONAL ORANGE:
