Default Where to buy paint to match Suzuki's?

Does anybody know where to buy colour matched paint from? I've tried halfrauds but they don't sell any pre mixed. Don't fancy the cost of mixing it bespoke...

Thanks

A question along the same lines.

Do Suzuki sell their own touchup paint? The stuff i got from bike-paints.co.uk Is nort very close at all really.

Maybe i was just expected too much.

RS paint are spot on but expensive. Paint for my fairing lowers and seat cowl was over £100 for 500ml. I did all the prep to keep costs down but had a pro spray it for me - 2 coats of primer, base, colour and laquer. That was another £100 but it looks the DBs and matches perfectly.

You could find your local auto painter centre as they will almost certainly have a Suzuki paint 'chip' for their mixer. This is where my re-spray shop got a superb match from.

+1

most bike based sprayers should be able to give you a touch up pot

Ty for the suggestions.

Ill take a photo tomorrow so you can judge yourself, it looks 10x better than before still. That p38 filler is great. I just wish the colour was a tad lighter.

I quite liked the prep and painting, i have stolen my friends old tank to, practise on, its a complete mess
