Has anyone touched-up the gold frame on their 90's Monster?

It's that muted gold color, and on my bike, I have some nice battery splatter accents on it, and even though it gives the bike some added 'personality' I think I want to paint over it.

So does anyone know if there's a touch up paint that's readily available???

Color-ite (http://color-ite.com/) used to list it.

They may still offer it. It wasn't a perfect match.

EDIT

I posted an incorrect link..it should be...http://www.colorrite.com/ ...........sorry

thanks.  Just sent them an email. I will do a thread on it if they come through...

I just had mine re-coated due to the same reason. I wasn't able to find a match so I changed the whole color. Whichever you do, get a sealed battery to prevent future occurrences.

Only problem I can see GM is paint can't ship by air.

I guess it could go on the slow boat.

How about the "touch-up pencils?"

Not sure if that would be classified as a flammable.

You could email and ask the vendor how it ships.

OK, going to autozone tomorrow, and if this is off, trying the import one.  Thanks guys!

Too bad if shipping to US is a problem,
I`ve touched up dozens of times, no visible transfer new/old paint!
