    I'm sorry if it's been asked before but I tried searching and the Newsletter links appear to be dead so here I am.

    I have an 82 XC250 and tomorrow I'm picking up an 82 CR250. Does anyone know the paint code for the gold rims and forks for these models?

    Are you saying the 81 & 82 gold are different?

    Rustoleum Gold metallic is a close match for the fork legs

    even anodizing can be different. Spent hours in ano shop asking questions watching
    parts be dipped. Also how the underlying metal in basic al or polished.

    Now all the anodizing we seen on husky rims now have 30 + years of uv rays on them too.
    I was under the impression that ano is UV resitent , no my sun rims on one bike are much lighter
    3 years later. the bike show in pic on left.
