Default NEED HELP FROM PAINTERS

I want to paint my aftermarket fairing, and was wondering if anyone knew a close match from Dupont, etc...Original color is 2004 Sierra Red. I hate to pay dealer prices and buy the full quart since I only need about half a pint of color.
Thanks in advance

Bring in your side cover to a reputable paint shop and they can match up for you. Alot of times going on paint codes alone does not work. Good luck

Son7771 has it going on. Thats what I've had to do as well. Take to a shop with a color camera they will get right on to your matched factory color.

Now the question of the day "Which After market Fairing did you go with???"

Thanks for all the help...good advice, now that I have the code I can compare at the shop doing the manual 'idiot check'. I'm a weekend warrior painter, lots of work (and mistakes can be co$tly)but a matter of pride when done.
I'm getting the quadzilla (original), decision came down tojust looks closer to stock IMNSHO. And $250 cheaper than DCC on EBAy. Just got to figure out how to lock it.
THIS SITE ROCKS !!
