Engine paint for NC29

Post by Davez29 » Thu May 07, 2009 7:24 pm

Hi, well after a slight mishap, no not riding, the bike was at a standstill. I actually pushed the bike over with my ass!! It went over so easily all I done was a quick nudge with my rear end while picking my ramp up and over it went, damn, bust the right mirror and screen and the fairing on the bottom fixings of the bike also cracked as that took the force of the bike on the garden rockery, although luckily it is still in one piece. Also as it rolled over the rockery the mid fairing and right engine cover were scrapped in an upwards fashion.

Well I had a screen and had some new mirrors lying around, just in case I ever needed them. but apart from busting the lower fairing which I will have to live with for now, I also would like to re-paint the engine casing of its scrapes.

So, does anyone know the colour or code for this engine paint and if possible the best retailer to get it? I tried one seller on ebay but he had no idea.

Sorry forgot about this post..

Ok thanks I will look into both options, just a shame I cant get the original as I still have the original engine stickers on the bike and would like to keep them on (an anorak thing).

cheers
