Title: K3 Exel Black touch up paint
Post by: totty on January 27, 2016, 12:54:25 PM
Hi,

Does anyone know of an off the shelf black touch up paint that is a fair match to exel black?

I've just bought a tank that has a couple of chips in the paint, they're down to clean metal so I'd like to fill them.

Thanks

Allan

Many many years ago I had a CB125T in black, the local Honda dealer sold me a spraycan, Pagetts brand, Yamaha gloss black, and it was a perfect match!

Thanks, I'll see if I can track that down.

I suspect that on these small chips any gloss black would do, but my colour vision is terrible, the dark blue one for my car would probably look fine to me so I don't trust myself to judge a match.

I think I have some excel black leftover from a paintjob. If you need a sample I could send it to you.

Menno .. see emails about my 500K0 paintwork I am sending to you tomorrow. Do you have a small sample of Sunny Gold Metallic to sell me  .. I need a small amount for my 750K0 side panel emblems that I had rechromed.

Best ... Ash

I'd feel a bit guilty taking it to be honest, as buying this tank means I now won't be sending you one for painting as I'd planned.

L Totty: What!? How dare you!  ;D

Oh well maybe next project  :)

If you write me an email I'll get your adress and I'll send some to you.

Ash, I don't actualy have sunny gold metallic and I would need an example.
But please would you send me a picture of what you want to touch up?

No worries Menno I got a little bottle of it from Andrew Parnaby last week,  as I remembered he painted the stripes on my Red CB750K0 tank with it.
