Based on the fact you have a curvy, I think you have the best colour already, but gettinig it to match is clearly not going to happen.

Yes I do like my old blue. I really dont want to go changing it !

I would say he has therefore got hold of the wrong paint. What I would do is get him to get as close as possible to your paint code, then do all panels in that colour.

Come to some form of agreement whereby it is carried out either dirt cheap or at no extra cost.

Either way, if you provide a colour code they are obliged to get as close as possible to it. That is NOT as close as possible to it by a long shot.

He has one of them computer aided mixing set ups. I dont know how it works but do you think it could have mixed up the paint codes?

Most definately. There is no way on gods earth that is correct.

Got to agree with Drew again.

I got closer to that using mixed rattle cans from halfrauds.

I also got near perfect using cans provided by Paints4u.com

They provided the primer, silver under coat, blue paint and lacquer.

If that's the case, just think how many times you have clicked the wrong option from a drop down menu... I would think he selected the wrong blue...

Ok just off the phone. My painter thinks the system ( not him ) might have mixed up the colours. Whats the code for the colour you guys think my lowers are painted now? He thinks maybe the system has the paint mix listed under the wrong code, if that makes sense to anyone.

Bloody hell, that really is a difference. I would tell him to either repaint the lowers to match or failing that, to spray the whole of the bike for free. Either that or get your money back.
