Z!R stardust blue paint

#1 PostAuthor: rpeters » Wed Mar 09, 2022 7:04 am

what a plonker!.....a balanced my Z1R fairing on the bike seat and five minutes later it was on the floor.....tiny paint scuff which should touch in. Question is does anyone have any touch up paint or good similar equivalent, or paint code?...

Cheers

Do’s the scuff hit you and catch ur eye 100% yes ?

I had 5 ltr of it from Rs and hutch binned it too much fleck
Hutch mixed his own bang on ?
Doing it with pen from Rs may stand out and catch ur eye now u know it’s there ?

You could give my mate mally a try, he's owned a zed and a few other bikes that he's painted, and done a few for me over the years, all excellent, he just sells touch up kits now.

I think much could depend on if it's been painted before?...

I've always found 'off the Shelf' touch up's very hit & miss so now I just take a panel down to a paint shop near me and They mix me up something like.
