Curvy Wheel Paint - Dark Grey - SV650.org

TamSV · 07-08-11, 10:30 AM

I've got an unused aerosol can of paint for the curvy wheels/engine. This is the dark grey colour that was only on the year 2000 X models.

From RS Motorcycle Paint. It's good quality paint and the can has a proper fan type nozzle.

I bought two cans in March this year but only used one. It's a very good match for the original. Use it with a grey primer and satin lacquer.

£7 posted (costs £15 plus postage from RS).

Take it the pointy wheels aren't the same colour?

AFAIK they only used that wheel colour on the year 2000 bikes. The wheels on the earlier and later bikes were silver up until the black frames came in (K5?). I think the wheels became black then.

This dark grey is also the same colour used on the engines (not the side cases) of both the 99 and 2000 curvys before they switched to silver.
