Says "new" but... You can't get that Suzuki factory paint anymore right?

Thought it would be cool if nothing else to pick it up and get it to a paint shop to get a perfect match for other bikes.

That would be nice for a restoration. Nothing like actual factory paint.

Odd they don't mention the quantity of paint offered...I take it, they are two small cans of touch-up paint.
AFAIK, the '83 red is not as hard to match as the '82 maroon....though Wacky here has found an automotive stock colour, that's extremely close.

How did you stumble across that? I've been looking for exemplars for the red AND orange for my 83 650.

Maybe a few people could chip in if you decide to go for it?

Especially when you are looking at paint that has spent 30 years baking in UV. Even through the clearcoat, there is still quite a bit of fading. I imagine the current clears are much more UV-resistant than the old stuff.
