    1983 "Excellent Blue" paint?

    Restoring an 83 Katana 1100, need to find an equivalent to the Excellent Blue. RS over in the UK sells one, but it's waterborne and my painter doesn't spray waterborne. Colorrite has the silver, but not the blue..... Anyone have any ideas?

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Unfortunately not - someone repainted it at some point and no idea if they used the correct blue....
