    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where to buy paint?

I've searched all over Google, eBay and the Color-Rite site for a certain color.
Searched by Color-Rite code: 4880U
Searched by Suzuki code: Z94
Searched by Name: Marble Azteca Orange

Most of what turned up on Google was either irrelevant or not in English.
The Color-Rite site was completely useless, unless I'm missing something.
eBay was a last resort, hoping maybe someone had some on hand.

Is there a simple, single way to find specific colors?

Also, while I'm talking paint, is there a good place to get caliper paint online?
My local parts stores only carry a limited selection of colors.
I found plenty on eBay, but I'd like other options.
 
If you have a relatively flat area that got good color then most paint places ( or auto supply houses ) that have a color scanner can scan and match it in a few minutes. Take some rubbing compound and clean a nice patch and just have it scanned and have them print you a mix label for your archieves. That is if you already have a piece with the color to scan..of course.
 
Have you tried the local paint supply house?
I live so far out in the country, there ain't anything "local". I'm a good 45 miles from any paint supply stores.

This isn't the color of my bike. It was painted black by a previous owner.
 
Just looked at the Colorrite site...$197 for a quart?? Holy cow, I went to a Dupont dealer got a quart of my paint (orange) a quart of primer, and clear coat for about $175. I'm using the Dupont Chroma paint with a thick primer, and their top end clear coat.
