    katana colour match help

    Hello everyone
    my 550 katana needs the rims and calipers repainted. does anyone know of a close colour match? I tried a paint shop colour match but the paint is faded and damaged and I was not happy with the result.

    my first bike was and is a mess, the second was easy cosmetically to restore, and this one I want to be perfect, so led a hand?

    PPG have a good selection of colours very close to original, just ensure to look at the products on the motorcycle list and not the auto list.

          No "PPG Automotive Coatings" agents in your area? They have Suzuki OEM colours, got my 13L there for an 82 Suzi.

            not that I have been able to find. I'm going to my girlfriends place this weekend. I'll look around there.

            thanks everyone!

            any other suggestions?

              Still no luck. I took the caliper to another paint store, but their 'match' was rather questionable.

              can anyone else help?
