Color code for 2006 GSX750F Candy Red

[roccop]

Hey all,



i have a stone chip on my tank and need to get some touch up paint.


Living in australia we dont have colorrite,


does anyone on here know of a color code i can give to an australian painter that he can mix up?


I have the 06 KAT which is that candy red i think they call senoma red


Cheers

i got a call from the panel beater today


he said he cant make up the paint as suzuki prepares the paint on the bikes by putting on 3 layers of different colours.


so i asked 'can you not just get a close match to the paint i have and i kept getting bullcrap excuses that they cant do it"


how hard can it be to get some touch up paint for my bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is really hard to get a touch up for this color. The guy is right by saying it takes multiple layers. The color-rite link i sent shows 2 layers not including primer and clear.

I got a small nik on my tank also near the handle bars. its not easy to be seen, but I just found some of my lady's red nail polish. It was close enough

[roccop]

nail polish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


what a great idea.....question is: is it uv fade resistant....will it wash off over time?

[Mat0302]

I don't know, I just find one of my lady's nail polish nearest to the color. She also has a clear top coat she uses sometimes, and so do I. It helps with the little rock nicks or things like that, but Its not going to fill a deep scratch.
