Default YC2 Grand Candy Blue paint

As the title says, where could I get an aerosol spray can and touch up bottles from?

Cheers

I have just used that company, the paint is a good colour match. I bought an air brush on ebay for £7 and thinned the paint with celuslose thinners. Not a bad finish if I do say so myself!

Thanks guys

I have looked in there, but as far as i'm aware the paint is a two pack paint.

Basically there is a silver undercoat, before applying the blue on top. However the seller doesn't seem to stock the base paint or isn't required which baffles me.

I seen another shop called RS Motorbike Paint, at http://www.motorbikepaint.co.uk/

Its also where the idea of the base coat came from, cos I can see that my fairing does have an under/base coat in silver as the paint isnt all rubbed away.

Any one use them?

I used him to get some 748 yellow for my old bike when he had just started doing it a couple of years ago. Rode to chelmsford where he lives, nice bloke.

The aerosol spray of grand candy blue is really hard to match..as it requires a base coat silver, then top coat blue.... I've used the one from bike-paint- and like i said it's hard to get it to match with any existing panels on the bike...

The genuine paint is actually a 3 coat system. Silver undercoat, blue translucent top coat and a clear top coat. The paint system the use give the bike that nice shiney silvery blue look or 'Candy' Paint as the colour suggests. When you buy a touch up pen, it roughly matches the paint but you dont get the silvery look. So its fine when you are touching up and not spraying a whole pannel.
