I fancy having a go at repainting my Starfire and I really like the late 1930s Empire Star green. Does anyone know if there is a paint code or an equivalent paint so I can get an aerosol can mixed up.

Normally, I rely on RS Paints for authentic BSA colours but they only list Dark Brunswick Green for BSA bikes of that period. However, I think the bike shown is closer in colour to Light Brunswick Green. The BS381C colour codes for Brunswick Green are: 225 - Light BG; 226 - Mid BG and 227 - Dark/Deep BG.

Thanks that's a big help I think your right it's a light Brunswick green. I will see if the local paint place can mix up an aerosol.
