Dear Sir
If your G15CS is an earlier Atlas Scrambler typemachine, that would be from engine and frame number 107 to may be 110, then it may be either Cardenal Red, or Candy Apple Red. The very early models were Cardenal Red, but these were Atlas Scramblers The frame would be black, and the gas tank, oil tank, battery and tool box would be Candy Apple Red, or the earlier type red. This would the same type of red used on the G12 twins. The G15CS models also had different fenders, seats, oi tanks and battery boxes, as well as different engine modifications. It really all depends on your engine and frame numbers that would determine these factors.Yamaha, Norton, and Ducati used Candy Apple Red, as a stock colour.
