Anybody else got a grey one
 
Its the best colour and not many people got them as they are the best:lol::lol::lol:

But does anyone know where I can get a colour match for my ti grey 748s with red wheels. As I damaged the right hand side fairing recently just lightly after I dropped it from stalling.

As they are £450 to replace top+bottom. The paint and fairing are only lightly scuffed, so would be good if just the parts damaged could be filled & resprayed locally.

Without the need for a total respray and new stickers.

Do able? or just live with the damage for now

I guess they are not popular at all then:(

Might go to a car or model shop and try and match it up with a titanium grey they :eureka:

I've got one but i'm afraid that i don't know the answer to your question. Try your local ducati dealer.

I'm also interested as i want to get the front mudgaurd re-sprayed as there are some stone chips on it.

....there is a company who specialise in paint matching for motorbikes - I did get some paint from them for a Gixxer in the past.

I can't remember specifically who they are, but they do advertise in MCN and are Yorkshire based if I remember correctly?

Or try a websearch?

I'll try to find the old paint pot I got from them as it had the company details on - I wouldn't hold your breath though

Tried here mate???
 
www.bike-paint.co.uk might be able to help you out. Even if you don't find that colour in their listings, ask them, because they seem to have more than they let on.......Very cheap too...(sorry that should read good value!)

Lee1980 27-May-2004 20:38

Thanks Mark,

Just had a look and they don't list it but will e-mail to see if they can get it.

They have one called 'grigio steel' which might be the frame paint on later dukes.

Only a tenner for a touch up pot to.

Paint
 
I've used a company called RS M/bike Paint (01226 203608); they're pretty good at getting exact matches for years and frame colours. Expensive though...

Just paint it red!!!!!!!!:lol:

My little bro has the same bike has has just done the same thing to his r/h panel. He has took it to JHP today to see a paint specialist. I will let you know the outcome.

Jon 30-May-2004 19:42

No go I'm afraid. Paint effect and colour applied as one. Looks like new panel or a big sticker.

Lee1980 30-May-2004 19:51

Thanks Jon,

Thought that might be the situation, need a new lower panel at £181 eeeeekkkkk!!!

and a mirror, and rear brake pedal.

Got a new bung for the clip-on but can't get the old one out is there a easy way?:puzzled::puzzled:

kwikbitch 30-May-2004 23:14

So Not the only one that needs STABILIZERs then????


:devil::frog::devil:

Lee1980 31-May-2004 11:26

Hey KB, you know where I can get some?:lol::lol:

I'm thinking of ones that retract once on the move:eureka:

Would save fortune in fairing bills:bouncy::bouncy:

Jon 31-May-2004 12:38

Lee I got a big pair of mole grips to get the mine out. That would be the bar bung before anyone makes any wise cracks:D
