It's like $20-$30 for a rattle can or you can the brush on version in a small touch up bottle. Just go online and they have all the paint codes on there for your bike by model year and by part. If you need help ordering it whatever, give me a ring. Seven oh two Four two zero nine five five four.

Cool! I knew someone suggested a paint place, but I forgot who! I appreciate it bro. Did you order the paint online and have it shipped or where did you actually get it from? I just looked up their website and saved it. I'll probably just get the 2 oz bottle w/brush. It will be easier. I don't need much. I was almost thinking the pen might do it, but just in case I need a second coat or what not. I just was wondering if you got it locally or bought it directly through the website.

Thanks for the lead on the paint! I figure that should get it close enough, so that it doesn't stand out so much.

Well, paint is ordered. I figured what the hell. I ordered the 2 oz base paint and the 2oz matte clear coat for it. Of course you will still see the major scrape on the swingarm, but at least it will be painted over and the paint will match. Thanks for the tip!

You're right though that the paint isn't cheap, but if it matches perfectly, then I guess it's worth it!

It will match to a "T". Like I said, I bought the rattle can version and I ended up blending in some scratches on the swing arm and you couldn't even tell they were there. Looks like it did when I bought the bike. But yeah it's is a pretty penny, but well worth it my friend. You won't be disappointed. Check out these before and after of my frame. You can still see where there's a slight gouge into the frame but the paint matched perfectly!

Nice!
