Rattle can spray job

Post by dunc103 »

Hi guys, does anyone know what car paints off the shelf are the same or similar to the FZR colours. Mine is the classic red and white 1990 but I need to repaint a couple of parts. I am aware of the Yamaha names, vivid cocktail etc, but am hoping that Ford or Audi or any off them do a similar colour so I can just buy a can from my local motor factors. The pearly white I think is going to be difficult but any help would be appreciated.

Rs paints stock the yam colours you're after in the uk
They're not the cheapest place but they're reliable and their products good

There's a few car reds that are close to the red on the Exup 1000. Car plan red25 is fairly close from the tin I have on the shelf saved for the bike
If its not broken it dont need fixing

Bike colours in the UK do paint too. If youre going to all the trouble to prep it then you might as well get the right colours for the bike theyre a similar price too. Use 2 pack laquer
