Matching the engine colour K3 SV1000 - SV650.org

Mark_h · 08-05-09, 06:36 PM

OK. I've searched .org and looked pretty much everywhere even phoned Suzuki, but I can not get the colour code for the engine paint. Has anyone found a decent colour match for the silver engine casings?

Ideally something I can pick up from halfords rather than getting mixed specially (and expensively)

It's blistering in the usual places but is not so bad as to justify painting the lot or to risk making it look worse.

I'm assuming that the casings do not get hot enough to justify high temperature paint, but have no idea what to prime/undercoat it with.

Non daft suggestions welcome. (found various links to black/pink/stripy paint)

Thanks,
Mark

I think certain places can colour match, my local ATS for example can colour match for like £8 a can
