Sorry guys, I'm an idiot. It's called "Antique White". Here it is lined up with two other colors I tried. Both were too "strong" for my #665 original color.

Installed a decent seatbelt today (bonus: it was a freebie!) -- the shoulder harness works well attached to the roll bar. Ready to race!

The mesh net on the ice wall is a neat idea.

I have heard it called the ice wall before - made sense to me, so I stole the word.

Thanks. No wonder I could not find it. It is "automotive" Rustoleum paint. My hardware store doesn't have the automotive line nor have colors written on the cans, just stickers with codes and the caps that look like the color you want (but may not be).

Thanks

Usually the barcode sticker on the back tells the color too.

Just in time for next Sunday's Fun Run. And you have brakes too!

Alvin, no mods! I don't have a harness bar, so I wrapped the shoulder belt on the bar just about the rear brace. It works perfectly like that and stays on my shoulder well too.

Make sure you have the right angle with the seatbelt.
