Re: VFR + RVF paint codes
Hi guys, can anyone direct me to somewhere to buy the Wistaria blue (PB166) as I've had no luck finding it, and Halfords can't mix it up for me I would prefer a rattle can, but do have the option of the proper way.
Failing finding the actual paint, whats the closest match?

Re: VFR + RVF paint codes
The paint place i use will most likely be able to mix it, 1k,2k or can its up to you. Cans are about £15 but bloody good. Not really good value for money compared to a quarter litre @ £14.95 and half litre @ £19.95.
I could send it to you if your having trouble getting it

Re: VFR + RVF paint codes
3
So, the NH1 bit stands for black but on the NC24, what does the second H stand for?
According to the original V5, the bike was black & blue. Does anyone have a pic of the original colour scheme?

Re: VFR + RVF paint codes
Bloody hell it's like having your laundry aired in public, I am so disapointed, but then again I do like the original scheme. I aint changing back though as I have (the abuse follows...) matching leathers
