Color Rite paint

Anyone have experience with their paint? How well does it match factory paint?

It's basically the factory paint. They are the only company authorized in this country to to supply oem matched paints by the manufacturers. I have used their paints, both for fairings and to repaint a frame.

I used it to paint some parts for my wife's copper colored SV. I was really impressed.

Thanks guys!

As the others have said, it is very good.
To keep in mind though, If you are painting a panel that butts up to an existing panel, you might be able to see a differance. As with all paint jobs, paint ages with time and the enviroment. Most shops will blend it in to help with this problem. If you are painting the whole bike or a tail section you will probably be ok. Hope this helps.

Half of these parts are "new old stock" and I painted the others with Color Rite paints. I've used Color Rite on a lot of bike parts over the years and I've always had very good to perfect color matches.

As other have stated, top notch and it is OEM paint. Pricey but worth it, have had one issue with them but they went out of the way to take care of it. used probably 12 different colors.

Your right Chris, the Hoover is dead sexy! It was good talking with you earlier. I still can't believe how expensive that pearl white is. I looked up the price of a new fender and it was with in ten dollars of what the paint cost. LOL Your work looks top notch Chris!

Do you guys usually buy it in the aerosol cans or use a spray gun? Just curious...

[ChrisCBX]

Lol! Yep Brian, I do think I have the best looking Hoover around!

It is amazing how pricey Color Rite is. I do think their prices jumped a couple of years ago (at least the colors I have used).

I'm painting with Color Rite right now as a matter of fact.

Spray gun only for me although I can see where the spray cans would be a huge benefit if I didn't have all of the paint spraying gear.

[jbnwc]

I used the can. No problems.

My current project. Restoring factory silver on my '79 CBX. All is done except for the tank. The tank is now done up to its first clear coat stage. Next is factory duplicate graphics followed by more clear and then install. Color Rite's silver for this bike is identical to NOS part that I have.

Nothing to contribute but I am reading this thread with great interest as I work on the '86 Interceptor...

I used Color Rite to paint the tail on my previous 2000 zx6r from when I removed those ugly handles. Used just the spray can and it came out perfect, you couldnt even tell. It all depends on how well you prep it and make sure you follow the correct steps in basic spray painting.
