graphite grey is ace for the dark colour of forks, however dave wants the silver colour on UK spec bikes i think.
Dave, never found a perfect match, however i did find halfords own basic cheapy silver was as close as dammit after a coat or two of laquer if thats any use.
silver is easy to get away with being non perfect IMO

Thanks,
Yes, it does not need to be an exact match as it would be hard to detect.
However, I have now found the code in the parts book in the fork section

NH 236 Sparkle Brown Silver Metallic.
The later dark colour is also listed.

If I can get the showa label off and find a supplier to copy them, I will let you know in case any one else needs them

Won't be too much trouble to make a vector EPS of that. :whistle:

Any sticker company worth their salt should be able to work from that.
