Come on man...
Switzerland is far from a third world country. Go to your local paint supply house, ask them to point their paint color spectrophotometer at your gas tank, and they can mix the colour up lickity split. The MOCO carefully guard's their mixing formulas, but modern technology can get around even the most greedy...... Corporations.

Smile It is done

Hi everybody
Thank you very much for your great help and effort
My local painter got pretty close to the Original color. If I would not know where the repair was done, i would not see it (great job)

Hope I can help the community once myself

Have a good summer :-)
Markus
