According to my guy the blue is easier to match??....I saw one he had and looked perfect!! gettin the color right is bad enough but gettin the right amount of and color of flake is even harder!!

PPG dealer should be able to match it if you drive the bike in. Or supply touch-up. But they probably have the number already.

PPG dealers here in Oz were useless even with the US code...apparently I doesnt match anything on their system???

I have it pretty close at the moment...about 95% just cant get the flake right...

cheers

Default Close as I could get it...
Hi

Just thought I'd post a pic of what I came up with... its not perfect(mainly in the flake) but I'm hoping it will look okay when its on...

You will notice I made the flames a little bigger which I think works well with the bigger fender..


what do ya think???

Dan
