------------------------------------------ Peter- Thanks fo the info. Are you say that polychromatic and flamboyant are the same as metallic? I am just trying to keep track here. Dale says that flamboyants are the "candy" color paint style, unless I am interpreting his response incorrectly. cheers- Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT
Dale... good question and one a frame painter could best answer. But yes I think polychromatic translates into metallic and flamboyant into "candy". Suffice to say that the normal British reserve seldom translated into lightweight and club frame finishes, certainly after the war.
