Where can I get paint to match my bike?


Recommended Posts

Thanks to the help of a few new friends on the forum I have collected the misc. parts and pcs to install my new to me trunk. The trunk I purchased was repainted a custom white which I was hoping would match the color of my bike...but too far off to let it go.

 

My bike is what I have been calling/heard called "pearl white"....how can I confirm this? And where do I start looking for a matching paint? Can I just go to any auto parts store that sells paint???

 

And how much do you think it will take to paint a large size trunk? (I may just go ahead and get enough to paint a fairing also...probably do it soon)

 

Thanks much,

Phil

I went to a place that has one of those scanner things to match the paint. It was OK, but I would buy the paint direct from Yamaha for the money. You know you should be getting the correct color there. My first experience though. I had a trunk painted. The price was no different in the end.

I had a negative experience with Colorite, as in complete waste of money.

 

The color code for my bike matched the code on their website but

I still received the wrong color.

 

I spent top dollar for the paint from a reputable company that many people

recommended, so I assumed I didn't need to open the cans and check the

color when it arrived.

MY MISTAKE.

The guy that painted my bike didn't check the color either, he just started

painting so I'm out $200 for two half pints of paint.

 

Moral:

If you do choose Colorite, open the cans and check the color(s) as soon as

you get it/them.
