While repainting a 1974 international, Brian Baylis impressed this upon me and we decided the primer had to be gold (not silver) to achieve the proper copper color. Similarly, there is a very emerald-green like color where the primer coat beneath the green is sky blue. Probably it's what you're seeing on the 1974 bike, I can see a few robin's egg blue spots, just like on my 1970 international.systemBuilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471017185445153023noreply@blogger.com
