Correct Lakewood colors?

[Resurrected69ss]

Hey guys, I was wondering what was the correct factory colors for the lakewood 3 point roll bar and traction action bars?? I've searched a few different threads but never seem to get a correct identification on the right color. I see some people say hugger orange for the bar and Daytona yellow on the traction bars? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have an original 3 point roller bar and it is more of a red-orange, I will take a picture tonight and post it.
As for the traction bars that yellow has been a couple of different colors, from a light yellow (sunflower) to a brighter yellow (john Deere yellow). I have nos piece with all the different colors, if you are going to paint them, find the yellow you like and go with it.

I am sure you will get a bunch more input, there are a lot of people here with many NOS lakewood parts.

Thanks, I was kind of thinking the same thing with them traction bars! As for the roll bar it's almost like a tomato red of some sort. Go figure I'm a body work and paint guy and still can't figure out the color lol!

Huggar orange is not correct. ...early NOS pieces I have seen have very little orange in it...9/10 red

Lakewood yellow after say the 1980's is different than original late 60's 70's Lakewood yellow...new ones&gt; slighlty darker has sort of a mustard color to it.

Many years ago I had a paint store scan a nos set of early 70's Lakewood bars and had the formula..I will try to dig it out and post it but I am in the process of moving.

Thanks Dave! I knew it wasn't hugger orange because mine is still more of a red than orange and it was never repainted. I appreciate it!

Go to Ace and get a can of Sunshine Yellow by (NOW). It's close to the original Lakewood Yellow.
