seat cowl colour match - SV650.org

Hello all, I have just joined and wondered if any-one has got suzuki cowl and if the colour match was spot on. I received mine today and noticed it seems to be a bit greenish. Any Advice. Better mention mine is candy napoleon blue according to service book.

Hi there i have a cowl for my candy blue 05 sv and the colour match is perfect. I would send it back if you are not happy assuming your bike has not had a respray.

I'll get in touch with shop, don't think bike has had respray. Thanks for your help. Would it be worth polishing both bike and cowl?

It's almost impossible to get a perfect match with colour when buying off the shelf.

especially pearl or candy colours as the amount of pearl or candy determines the overall colour

Mine is the same. I have a road sv sport in same colour and had to change the lowers due to a drop and the new ones were just off slightly. Spoke to a mate that runs a paint shop and he said that heavy pearl colours such as mine (and yours) are hard to match. Don't worry too much as six months later with use I can't see the difference now
