Has anyone here repainted or touchup their frame or swingarm? My problem is the core black metalic that I got from color rite to paint my swingarm is darker and glossy. it's such a mismatch from the frame that I'm not happy with it at all. When I scuffed the fresh paint (intending on repainting) with gray scotchbrite, I noticed the match was pretty close. Lost the gloss and didn't look as dark. It's still a shade darker though. I was thinking about repainting with the same can and a superfine steel wool light scuffing after. Color-rite says it's not their fault, and offered to analyze the paint if I want to return the can. Doesn't sound to promising to me?

instead of a gloss or metallic
use a flat black. I use it on my aprilia swingarm and you cant notice any difference whatsoever. i cant even find the spots i painted. i used to have a website with eery oem paint code for the bike and the spray for sale in a can. if i find it ill post it for you

well disregard half of what i just posted. the site was color rite. your best bet is a flat black. worked perfect for me.
Yea, that's a good idea. And we tried a couple diferent flat blacks, but my frame color is defenatly a really dark charcoal rather than true black, and color matching it, even from the auto paint distrubuters, is pretty tough. Anyway, I repainted it, and superfine steelwool and it's fine. really close, so just has to be good enough. I'm 95% done now, just need to put the decals on to be completly done and on the street. Oh yea, also waiting for the harris pootpegs. Any day now...
hi mate u can get flat or a satin metalic/charcoal cheers buddha-
