Recently a “black” Moulton Malvern Star appeared and I was just wondering if anybody knew of this colour variety? I haven’t seen the bike in person as it is in another state so use the inverted commas – the bike is definitely original and appears faded black, but might be dark metallic grey…am I wrong in saying it could be solid black?

With the information in this thread I have been doing some sleuthing to see if I could source a supply of paint for a couple of 1963/64 Blue Deluxes that I am refurbishing. With reference to the DuPont recipe described by @leemorgan in Reply #3179 above, I have found out that the DuPont paint range has been taken over by Axalta and their agent in the UK is Saris Coatings in Burton-on-Trent. I’ve been in contact with them and they are confident they can re-create the same recipe for Polychromatic Blue as listed above. They can do it in paint form for a spray shop or packaged in aerosols for home use, as required. I’m planning to go ahead with a minimum order and will report back in due course.

I also have a Mk1 Stowaway which was blue but not much of the original paint exists for matching. Does anyone know if the Stowaway blue is the same as the Deluxe Blue (obviously without the white peaks)?
