Jc Higgins Colorflow bike Tank swaped What looks better 7/11

Im curious to see what the name of the color is on your dupi color can & to see how close of a match it may be .. Thanks for your help

The dupli-color perfect match had that same pearl hue to it, I've still got half a can of it, I'll spray some scrap I have laying around and show you what it looks like. I'd say it's a close enough match nobody would know.

Thanks to Chrismac and Advance Auto, I think I found a cool way to mimic your colorflow lights.

Just out of curiosity what does that bike weigh? Looks like a tank! But that's a good thing, good old American iron.

One of your photos the one in the light the color looks pretty close. The other pic in the shade it looks off. Its a really tricky color.What is it called on the can? The color looks similar two what I have tried in the past. Thank you for showing me though. Im likely going to keep both tanks for now till I can figure out what to do Id hate to find a good paint match in the future & not have the tank I can paint on...
The bike weighs a Ton .Ive never had it on a scale it feels like 80 lbs though. :? Its feels like its double the weight of my pre war columbia tank bikes & It makes my mead Ranger feel like a light weight. Its heavyer than a Toyota Prius :lol:

Another option, coming at it from a different direction:
Tie the Beige tank/seat together by using green rims and cream colored tires.
