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?

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

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?

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 :whistle:
