Default Best place for spray paint

Hi all

Just a quick question what is the best place or where is the best place to get a can of spray paint made up for my pointy sv.
I just got back from halfords and they only do cars, They didnt have suzuki bike colour codes on there system.

Any ideas
Thanks

depending on how close you want it to be the halfords paint citreon possiden blue is quite close, if you have the darker blue bike of course, test it for exact match first though I have been using it to paint a track fairing.

Might be worth taking a look on yell.com for paint suppliers near to you. If you take a sample in, most should be able to mix the paint for you if they haven't got the appropriate paint code.

might be an idea to put your location in your profile, as I know several local places to me, but not where you are ?

thats strange as the halfords in PORTSMOUTH do colour match for SV's. In fact the blue matched pretty well thought"!

Car Spares in Cheshunt Delamare Rd (down by the old lido), take a sample and they will match it for you, mixed there from base colours.

Cheers Mark.
