Silver k3 pointy colour match?

[Dave20046]

Just about to pop out to halfords before they close, does anyone know an off the shelf rattle can that'll match a k3 pointy's plastics silver?

Failing that the paint code for the silver pointy?


I've already been recommended peugeot metallic silver for the wheels...but I'm assuming the wheels are a different colour from the bodywork.


cheers

Hi Dave just offered my sv front wheel up to the plastics and it is the same silver, or near as dammit, to the plastics.
The colour code is YD8 Sonic silver

Cheers rowdy - very helpful (and double thanks as it was you I got the metallic peugeot silver info off, found half a can of it in my garage so off to halfrauds to have my pants down for some more!)
I might see how much a colour matched mix of YD8 is from them as their colour match paint is a fair bit higher quality than the premixed off the shelf stuff - don't know if it's the paint or the nozzle but it does seem to be better.

dave: i went to halfrauds a couple of weeks back and asked for a colour matched rattle can, the bloke behind the counter looked at me like " you want paint for a bike? " i gave up and looked at others in the shelves and found that Vauxhall Metallic Star Silver is not a bad match with grey primer. the only down side is when the sun catches it, it does look abit darker than the rest. you can see what i mean here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlWPm1yS5JQ

its the seat cowl you want to look at by the way

Ta bomlong - but only just picked this message up
I went for the peugeot metallic in the end, I think it's slightly lighter but my appalling spraying's much more noticeable than the colour!
meh does the job.

Thanks for the replies.

i use rsbike paints - pop your info in and i got the paint the next day
