Well done, I don't think you will be unhappy with your decision. I went to the GP at Phillip Island (Australia) and had the same type of interest in my 907. |

Not sure if it's available to everyone, but I found the best option is to bring the bike, or at least a piece of fairing closest to the one you want to paint (if you can't bring the piece itself) - to a local paint shop that has the ability to read the exact color from fairing. Then they can mix you up a pint or whatever of an exact color match - and that will take into account fading, time, sun damage, etc. I did this after my 750 take a nose dive off the stand and split open a mirror pod. I used JB Weld to piece it back together again, then alternated wet sanding/priming until it was smooth (priming will bring out any tiny air bubbles in the weld material - these will naturally turn up ater you paint it). Before I got into that, though, I brought the piece into the shop and they 'light gunned' it to get the exact color of the piece. I had them mix me up a half pint, and voila - you can't even tell it's been repaired. Especially since it's been painted to match any wear and fade that's occurred over the years. I did the same thing with my old Audi, which was Tornado Red - it's the closest thing to a guarantee that you'll get a color match on the paint. |
