Title: Matching paint on frame
Post by: jrswanson1 on July 31, 2012, 04:24:56 AM
When I dropped my 696, I scratched the frame along with a bunch of other bits.  I'm going to clean out the little gouge as there is rust forming there, but I need to know, where can I get matching paint for the frame?  Or should I repaint the entire frame/powder coat the frame?  The bike is the Pearl White version, the frame is a gloss black.  Thanks.

I would email colorrite.com I know they have touch up for other ducati frames.

Thanks, I'm going to do that.  And Raux, I'm really liking that combo, I might have to figure out how to get that done on a budget.

I got an email back from colorrite.com.  It's the one color they DON'T have  :'(  They said if I could get them a part with the color, they'll match it and send me a small sample for free.  Is there any other part of the bike with that color?  I don't think I can send them the frame right now.
