Seems to me a Caterpillar Tractor yellow wouldn't look inappropriate on that Ski Doo.

Have you tried cleaning/polishing what's there?
It doesn't look like it really needs painting, at least from the picture you posted. |
|
PM me if you find the right code, I have a 66 Super Olympic that I'm going to restore probably next fall, I wonder if it is the same color yellow.
Its a cool sled, 300cc or so, single cylinder twin carb, I think it was 12hp over the Olympic's 9 or 10. Also have 2 Arctic Cat's a 72 Puma 340 and a 74 with the Wankle engine that I restored, not to perfection, paint and mechanical. Good luck on your project, post some pic's of the progress. |
Should be easy to take a small part that hasn't been faded by sunlight to an auto paint store and have it matched.
|
There was a link to a list of paint codes towards the end of the webpage i directed you to.
Good luck with the cool project! https://www.teshio.com/oldski-doosleds/pdf_files/SKI-DOO%20paint%20codes%201959%20to%201991.pdf |
Be careful, vintage sleds have a way of turning into a sickness.... especially old Skidoo's! Have fun SmileWavy

From their website, "...when Delfeet acrylic enamel 85194 is use on a Bombardier Ski Doo, Maple Syrup is to be use for base coat..." :D:):D

Great prep'ing job!
So, what primer are you going to use on that Scooby-Doo? |
That thing looks like it is still pretty solid. Fun project!

From where I'm standing that galvanizing looks great already. I've heard sometimes things come out a bit warped after hot-dip galvanizing.
You don't want it getting the speed wobbles on a fast downhill run ;) |
crazy cool. Nice job!
|
Great project, I'd love a vintage Ski Doo
How reliable is something like this, as it's old skool simple will it just run and run forever when done? |
The one time I bought snow mobiles, it didn't snow for three years. You guessed it, dumped them just prior to a record winter.
Your sled will be a piece of art when done. |
