Hello Spike welcome to the Forum.
I do`nt know anything about color printer ribbons {Where Your posted url took Me}and I do`nt know much about paint either other than whenever I try painting something with a gun all I get is curtains

but I have done some research on My 1957 Harley light weight Hummer and here is the chart from the official Hummer club.
http://www.harleyhummerclub.org/ You will have to go to the how to restore and then scroll down to the chapter 91 "Paint colors" and check the chart for the 57.might want to check the "Members Pages" while You are there and see what the Harley Lightweights looked like.
Now if I only had the formulas I could get a batch mixed and have someone that knows how to paint make it into a real purty red bike.

I see a lot of the 57 Hummers with the Birch White tank panels but that was not an option for the 57s.I want this bike to look as close to original as possible so it will be the original Hifire Red as it was when I owned it back in 63.
PS.
You might want to go here and do an intro when Ya get some time.
