So I've tried touch up paint...
 

...on a quite large patch of fairing, and its noticable darker than the normal paint.

I've done 3 coats so far (instructions say several) and its just getting darker!

Yes its the right colour by the way :wink:

Any idea if this'll sort itself out thru drying and sunlight?

So I assume you have bought a grand candy blue paint.

Did you use a silver base coat first. and a good lacquer.

Also this time of year make sure your environment is dry and warm otherwise the paint will bloom

everytime i try to touch up paintwork i balls it up and it look worse than before.

Ive done a few bits on mine and you cant really tell unless you stand quite close to the bike.

Well I've tried it with and without the silver base coat, both look ****e lol

But it looks better than huge scratches...

not laquered it yet cos I'm not happy with the colour...

From memory candy blue dries a bit matt and then lightens and goes shiny with the lacquer.

Pics please?

Paint the whole bike yellow

Gives it some extra speed and handling too :D
