Michael: I saw a Kirk frame in the gallery at Joe Bell's site that had these colors. In discussion with JB we variously referred to it as Ferrari Red and Porsche Red, after it was painted he said the specific shade he used is called Rad Red. I believe Richard Sachs was mentioned as having used

Nice! It looks like a lighter colored version of the original hunqapillar color scheme. Hopefully it finds its way home to you soon! Collin in Sac On Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 8:54:51 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Who wants to see pretty Joe Bell paint on a custom Rivendell >
