Gold Paint

I know LT do frame paint but does anyone know of a good match for the AR engine casing? I fancy doing a little touch up.

have you tried asking LT they must have touched some up in the past

Cheers Mick, I'll give them a call later in the week and ask - I need to grab a few bits off them anyway.

just a thought but is there a couple of paint codes on the frame tag? i know it shows the frame colour but does it have any other, like the gold. jon

Cheers Jon, come to think of it there are two paint numbers..
I'm fairly sure I recall seeing two when I was changing the filter today
and if so I'll cross reference it with the honda paint code link.

Thanks mate

Will do mate...Just checked the frame numbers -- there are two of them as I
recalled but unfortunatly they are both the same numbers for the white
frame colour -- but I'll have a natter with LT this week when I order some
bits from them and if I have no joy there I'll just buy a selection - experiment
and let you know the results.

Leisure trail had no suggestions.. so I took a chance and bought some..

Looks like this will be a process of elimination - so for the record.

Plasticotes Mettalic Gold - Doesent match

well done mate,you always now that the one you buy is not going to be the wrong one but hope you didn't buy a spray can. good luck on what you find .
or just paint all the gold bits the same colour. Jon
