touch-up paint

[V!!]

Hello everybody!

 

I need some touch-up paint for my original green Moto Guzzi V11 Sport -01.

 

No one in Sweden knows the paint code or how to make the paint.

 

Does anybody know where I can find the code or some place where I can buy the paint?

 

Please help me!

...kind of useless reply here, as I have no idea. But I do feel for you. From what I understand, finding a good match isn't easy.

 

In my case, a 2002 Champagne LeMans, I just went down to my local auto-parts store and loaded up on the closest 3 or 4 touch-up paint tubes, and finally found one that's close. It's not exact, but close enough.

 

I haven't seen your green in that mix of common touch-ups though unfortunately.

 

You may be able to take the bike down to a local auto paint/finish supply shop and they can put their chromo-thinga-ma-jingy computer on the paint and mix a close match?? I've seen that done before.

 

But the trick there is to get them to make up a batch that doesn't require purchasing a several hundred $$ gallon of the stuff, and it not being some professional two-part paint.

 

But that's where I'd check, just start calling around and see who might be able to analyze the paint, and mix a close small batch for you.

 

...or you could just repaint the bike with a more common "antifreeze green" That's actually what I plan to do if my LeMans ever gets it's paint job really torn up. I'll just repaint it with a similar color, but one that is some GM/Chrysler/Ford color that's easy to get paint for.

 

Or I might just paint it ORANGE and powdercoat the frame purple

I'll try the german V11 forum. Maybe someone there knows a match.

Don't know if they ship internationally, but these guys are great:

They have "V11 Sport Green" listed under the "Color Rite Master Paint List" menu on the home page-- not under the "Motorcycle Application Guide".
