Was it much cheaper?

Even if RS don't have the colour they can mix it. Currently RS are are matching and mixing a Honda paint colour (Satellite Blue Metallic) that they did not have by using a small fairing panel I sent them.

I contacted 5 or 6 motorcycle paint suppliers. No one even listed the colour and 3 of them suggested that I try RS.

Do you have a sample of Satelite blue metallic?
This may be a bit of a strange question but could you send me a sidecover to match the paint?
I am collecting Honda colours and this colour is very unique since (as far as I know) this colour is only sold in the US...
I would pay for your inconvenience...

March 2021 update:
Thanks all for your comments. In the end we went with RS Paints, no other choice. However, things didn’t start well. Not so much Muscat Green rather just Muscat!

We got in touch with RS Paints who straight away clocked that things weren’t right and sent us out a new bottle. Now we are getting somewhere.

Thanks again.
Still working on a part restoration of my 1970’s Honda CB200. “What could possibly go wrong?".

Great service and quality from RS Bikepaints  BUT they lost my NOS part I sent them for matching and no real apology that they had done so .. a bit like .. "its been several months so it probably got thown away"  :(
