ABB :thumbup: [/color]
they are 400mm cans so you will probably need 2 tbh, plus primer.
or primer, a close match yellow then a tin of matched yellow for top coat.
worth getting a touch up pen as well while theyre mixing it then you got a good match for chips.
let it cure til it doesnt smell then use pro-xl clear 500ml uv & fuel proof lacquer - off ebay

halfords now do a fuel proof lacquer but i havent used it myself so can't comment on how good it is.
you'll want some 800. 1200 wet n dry as well to flt between coats, and tcut before lacquering - the lacquer sets like glass and polishes up superb :thumbup:

i got a box of 12 500ml cans for £23 off the bay, next day del.
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Abby- Your reg document should show any colour changes. Also it'll be reported on an identity check - they're only a few pounds on-line.

Re colour-matching- I'd just do it in black.
Some like it, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but yellow everything is too much for me.

Gotta say, the tail looks much to fat in yellow anyway.

Does my butt look big in this shade?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

V5 ONLY states colour being Yellow, not colour changed from anything else etc and since we now have no idea which yr all the fairings came off now, it's trial and see as we know it defo not Italian Red..
Re colour-matching- I'd just do it in black. I don't like the bellypan in black as I think its harder to see it.Some like it, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but yellow everything is too much for me. I like the look of my bike, wheels look good in yellow too. Everyone else has black or alloy. That's their choice :-) If anything, I'm more tempted to go with the Red if alls else fails as I think the red looks good against the yellow and the seat is piped with red too.
