Member Contributer Skids Posted August 27, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2023 Anyone in the UK know where I can get some touch-up paint for my 01 VFR800? Paint code below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Presson Posted August 27, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted August 27, 2023 I used car&bike custom paint based in Sittingbourne,Kent for touch up paint. Good colour match for the triple clamp upper. Bear in mind age related fading though. This is what they sent minus the Halfords clear coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to find this https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=firanto.colours&store_cat=0&store_name=firantocolours&_oac=1&_nkw=honda nh-146m with correct paint code.

I bought this exact paint. It is not a good match at all, it is MUCH darker than factory, like a completely different colour, more like navy blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toreckman Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Sorry, just saw you are actually getting silver paint. Though I still think that ebay seller doesn't match colours very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 29, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted August 29, 2023 Go to a proper paintshop. There they scan one or more sections to grt a match. Did this with my 1975 MV to get the grey metallic as original as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toreckman Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 That is probably the best thing to do, especially if you are painting visible areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
