I went to my local paint supplier yesterday to get a colour match for my nose fairing only to be told that they dont make up aerosols anymore. Is there somewhere on the net that I can get some from?

Halfords. They do a paint match service if you take in the paint code

I think Halfords may only do car colours? Or so I was told in my local Halfords?
You could try www.paints4U.com |

I went to my local Halfords a couple of months ago and they do bike colours too. Get them to look up the paint code to see if it exists

I used Paints4U for all my stuff, very good.
Halfords can do you a custom mix, but it'll still be rubbish, they only supply cellulose paints which just aren't up to long term use. The hard part is always the top coat... I did a front panel with Halfords stuff (did the rest of the bike properly, but then I binned it...) and it is frankly rubbish, insects leave impact damage! It's a top fairing, and yet still covered in minor chips already. No good really.
