Gmc28 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Not to drown the site with my posting, but wanted to try and keep the questions somewhat segregated by topic.... in this case, i’m Wondering if anyone knows what the secret handshake is for the candy-apple red guzzi paint color in the ‘02? The champagne color was largely unobtanium, so hoping the red is better. and, this lemans has a couple sport mufflers, off an ‘01. I like them (nice sound, and look ok), but one of them is dented. Anyone have one laying around to sell? 1
po18guy Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Same difficulty here. With me it is touch-up for the gray-blue frame side plates. Going to hit the fingernail polish rack and have a look. As to the muffler, it is rash, a crinkle or just a pushed-in dent? If the latter, any of the really good Paintless Dent Removal guys can handle that.
Gmc28 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 Good call on the dent remove guys. I’ll check that out.
Rox Lemans Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Gotta get it colormatched. And I think Guzzi did it for a reason. These 2 colors (candy red and the champagne) changes colors over time. My Lemans over years in the California sun has a hue of orange(which imo is gettin better with age) and the champagne Ive seen lighten to a beige and change to more of a gold. I went looking for color codes to get my seat cowl painted to match the red and not the grey and it was like looking for the National Treasure. I took it to a paint shop with a sample panel and had it matched... 1
po18guy Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Oh, you got the fever, and bad, errr.. I mean good. Was thinking about having my cowl painted, but the tailsection is the midnight/azurre/sunset-over-the-Italian-Alps blue that occurs nowhere else on earth. And I'd lose the Ballabio script. 1

A post like that requires a picture . . .
Gmc28 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Posted October 7, 2019 Damn. Was hoping the red wasn’t as “national treasure” elusive as the champagne. Color matching the champagne was more than the two best shops in my town could handle. But i’ll Also check the fingernail paint selection, as all I need is some touch up. If anyone has found a good option, pls post.
Twin AH Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Well boys I hear ya on all that Guzzi color match stuff. Another painful program is color matching any of the V-11 wheels …. now that's painful LOL. Ciao
