Touch up paint
 
Hey,

Can anyone recommend a good source for Suzuki touch up paint (I'm gonna guess a couple of answers will be Suzuki!) thought it worth asking as there might be better places than OEM, these days.

Mine's this type of red:

Not to hand, can do when I'm home. Is there a supplier you'd recommend?

depends on what type of "touch up" your going to do. you will NEVER match red paint properly.

if its for small chips/scratches that are not down to the undercoat or metal/plastic then it's better to fill the hole with layers of clear coat till its built up then all you do is buff it down.

Deep chip, needs filling. Not asking for paint expertise tbh, just a supplier. Simple enough question, really.

Thanks chaps. Didn't have my key on me last night to check the code. It's under the seat, I guess? Or is it under the pillion seat?

Haha, wow..thanks Suzuki! I've got the booklet, etc. I'll have a nosey when I'm back off my jollies. Thanks for the help guys.

"Bike Colours" on flea bay sell a three part touch up kit for about £15 plus £2.50 p&p.
As Bibio says good for minor dinks and chips. As per usual comes with nail polish style brushes so if you're handy you might want to use something finer rather than daubing which is what I do!
