Anyone know where I can find touch up paint for my bike? Like order it from the manufacturer or something? Specifically looking for the teal color, thanks.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
There's a couple of links to custom places on here, do a search. Pricey though.

Automotive paint suppliers now have the technology to scan paint and get a formula to mix exact colors. Just take a body piece and In short order a can of paint in your flavor is presented to you. Just remember automotive paints are very spendy, particularly the red shades. pints cost more than quarts,quarts cost more than gallons when based on the per ounce price. Be prepared to answer the burning question about enamel, or clearcoat/basecoat. With older paints this is the only way I know how to get an exact match.
I've used one of those scanners at work and there great. The down side is they require about a 4" flat surface of good paint. Not that easy to find on an older bike. Ours takes 3 shots and averages the readings. For best scratch and fuel/chemical resistance use urethane paint.

Definately the only place to go. Pen sticks are about 10 bucks, maybe a little more. Luckily your bike should be a single stage. The newer bikes, sometimes Ive had to order 3 pens just for one color touch up and they are expensive. I ordered 2 pints for a customer to paint an extended busa tail and they were 80 bucks each, so be ready to fork over the cash if you need enough to repaint a tank or sidecovers. I dont remember if they allow orders from individuals or if you will need to have your dealer order it for you.
