    Blue 1000c paint

    Thought i had shared the result from having the blue matched but cant find the thread. Anyway, in an effort to get it out there, heres the label from the can. Color came back to a BMW SPACE BLUE.

    I think i sent Todd Cannon the tail piece with the samplings on it and he didnt realize that it even had sampling on it..its that close.

    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.

      Chuck,

      Is this for the 78-79 GS1000C blue bikes? Thanks for sharing!

              Thanks Chuck! Going to be painting mine this winter due a little off-roading done last year!

                  A49 is a Mini color. BMW owns Mini so this makes sense...

                      i believe that when they scanned the oem paint the match rating was 96 percent so they mixed a sample and we let it dry...looked near perfect to me
