Re: paint code question

Excuse my ignorance lads, but do the likes of Halfords only need the paint code off the bike to mix up some paint? :? I don't know whether halfords do 'mixed' colours or just a range of common colour rattle cans but I suspect honda y124p won't be a a stocked item. And that's not a fault of halfords...

Re: paint code question

Re: paint code question

thanks for the replies, looks like y124p is the winner I'll have a look under the seat to make sure (if the sticker is on the subframe then it's probably gone as I painted the subby kast winter) I don't want a rattle can but some 2K base and clear , however it looks like it's a 3 stage paint system ...

Re: Signwriters vinyl
