ARGGGG - 696 Touch-up paint needed

[Heathbert]

ColorRite does not show a 696 yet, but they do have the black, matte black, & red of the 695. As well as most prior years colors.  The matte looks like it would work for your swingarm. Available in multiple sizes including a pen. Don't forget the base & top coat for your body work and frame.

I'll bet Color-Rite has the proper touch-up paint. They don't list the 696 yet, but perhaps a phone call would get you sorted out.

Another thought is that my 620's owner's manual lists the PPG paint codes for every color used on my bike. Have you checked your manual?

so,...... they slapped a quick coat of paint on the swingarm (and I assume the non trellis portion of the frame) after everyone squawked about the look?

anyway, on topic: I busted the taillight lense on my first monster the very first time i took it off the rear stand (right after doing the tail chop)
i let the handle go too soon.............

get some nail polish from your SO of whatever.

Yep - they do.  They list the paint codes for the tank bits I imagine, as they list the paint codes my color config (eg Red/over coat, White/Overcoat, Matt).  Therefore, I believe that the Matt listing is for the Monster Dark color....Anyone with a 696 Dark can verify that the tank matches the swingarm

Thanks !
