Maybe it's my screen Shifty, but your signature pic looks like Kurt Warner with a paint mask on.

I don't see the resemblance.






EDIT: Actually now that the two pics are up there together I guess I can see it... and look at his eyes compared to my eyes in the avatar! haha

The mask...? I look like Brad Pitt with my helmet on.

That's more than I'm doing my whole bike for!

My local napa store does paint matching. I paid $25 for a pt of basecoat (Dupont Nason), $10 for the reducer, and $20 for the activator. My old boss in Breslau will paint for people if they supply the color for $50 per hour which includes him using his own clearcoat.

I don't see the resemblance.

Yeah, I see it. Same eyebrows too. The whole top half of your head looks the same as his, minus the hairline.

You outta see him in a Kevlar...looks like a giant "mushroom." Scuttlebut is that HQMC had to have a custom one made for him. I tried on one of his garrison covers once...it sat on my grape like an umbrella.

Yup...Brad pitt for sure...

Go to your local automotive paint supply store and have them read the color. That is the best chance you have of getting a close match. If you think you are going to get an exact match, don't hold your breath. There are far too many variables...pressure, overlap, speed...and thats if the toners used have exactly the same value as the factory's did. Paint is expensive, it seems like it goes up every other week. There are some toners that are almost $200 a quart. If you have the tools to paint then go ahead and do it. If you don't, it's going to be cheaper in the long run to have a shop do it. A good shop will know how to shift the color if needed to get it really close. How do I know this? Card carrying PPG certified painter here....the color match class was 3 1/2 days long and years of practice since.
