    78 GS 1000C paint scanned

    Took the Deep Burgundy Metallic tail section to my buddies supply house to have it scanned before scrubbing it away and making it blue for my project bike. Scanner had absolutely no problem scanning this.

    He said if you wanted it a tad darker all you would need is your mix guy to add a tad more black and if you wanted it a little more maroon then add a little more maroon.

    NOTE:: This is for an 8 US OUNCE mixture.

    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.

              Says to use G7 primer which is "Dark Grey." The common gray primer is G5.

                  Run black primer under it. Cant get any darker of a background...LOL I suppose that one could have thier mix guy take a little black out of the mix and make it show a little more maroonish also.
