Evening all,

Just wondering if anyone new where I could get a small tin of yellow paint to match my yellow sv, following a small off a rockingham last summer.

its only a graze on the fairing about 4cm/4cm, and one of the lads at work used to spray cars for toyota so is gonna give me a hand.

i know i need wet and dry paper to smooth out the surface first. but have no idea how to find out the exact paint code for the SV, and also were to get it from at a half reasonable price... i have a suzuki dealership & halfords within easy reach buy figured the dealership might rip me off, as the last thing i brought from them was the replacement mirror for £40:-s

cheers, Coops

From you avatar it looks like you have the same as me Orpiment Yellow (YU9 i think it is)

Have just bought this which looks right just waiting to try it :) Comes with basecoat yellow and clear topcoat.

Tom, you used this yet? If so how does it look? Starting to think it migth be easier to just use touch up paint on my tank than to respray the whole thing.

Got a friend at work who used to spray cars for toyota, and his said not to use touch up paint on anything more than small stone chips,

i brought a spray set from the same shop as the link above and re sprayed and the part of my front fairing that damaged in a small off and it looks much better than touch up paint would imo.
