Title: Touch up paint for a silver 97
Post by: Mike Qube on March 25, 2010, 10:28:18 AM
I have a silver 97 m750. I tried ColorRite and it has nothing listed for my year. It's a metallic silver. Is there any other year that used this color?

The 1998 900 SS FE, the 1998 ST2, probably a few others.  Ducati liked to use the silver for the first year or last year of some models.  The 1997 M750 was the first year for the 750 Monster, at least in the USA.

The only Ducati silver I could find on ColorRite was listed as 2001 Monster 750, that wouldn't happen to be the last year would it?

02 was the last year for the 750.

There was so much variance in the silvers the color may not match, but it will be close enough for small touch ups.

If you're just going for close enough, cruise around a parking lot until you find a silver car that is close and buy paint for that.

Hey, years ago a female Monster rider found some nail polish that was a perfect match for the mid-90's red Monsters.  ;)
