Hi! I'm new to this forum and am in the process of restoring a couple of Bronccos for my collection. Do any of you guys have any extras or sources for decals for a TX1 Deluxe, TX1-L, and a TX6?
I'm also looking for paint codes for the TX6 orange (for a BC4), TX1-L yellow, and TX6 Candy Lime Gold. The only one I have an actual old sample of is the orange. Thanks! Dave
Hi Chevy,
I've restored many Broncco's including all 3 that you are referring to (check my pics)...The Orange and Yellow colors I would recommend just going to your local Powder Coat shop and using "regular" or straight yellow/orange. As for the Lively Lime Gold, I used "Psycho Yellow" which is made by Prismatic Colors Powder Coat. Expensive, $350 ish, but came out awesome. Way better than paint and more durable too.
As for decals...you need ALOT of decals. You need the Fantic one for the front triple tree, the "made in italy" ones for the frame, the side tank decals (2 different ones), the top back of the tank for "TX-1", "TX-6" and "Deluxe" and you also need the engine oil sticker that goes on top of the gas tank for the TX-6....
It all depends on how serious you are about the restoration. For example, I only get "screen printed" decals because thats how they did them back in the 1960's and 1970's...most people get digital because they are cheaper...Both are nice, but the screen printing is much more accurate. I have some extra decals...but I'm pretty protective of them. I may have some extra's, I'll have to take a look. I just moved so things are still in boxes...A top notch restoration with re-chroming and powder coat will cost you a pretty penny...most guys on here don't want to put that kind of $$ into a mini bike...Can't blame them. It all depends on much it means to you...Good Luck!
Hope that helps....
