cant seem to locate a touch up pot for the matt gold/bronze type frame paint, anyone know a supplier? just for touch ups near the frame bungs where its a bit chipped.
Not used these myself, but was recommended; DUCATI TOUCH UP PAINT 916 MONSTER ETC FRAME GOLD MATT. | eBay
ICI can supply the colour and a local motor factor can sell it to you in spray can form as well, if you ever need that.
is there a specific code for it? gonna see how this one from ebay turns out, i can hide it under the frame bung edges and see how it matches.
There is but I have never purchased any. They do a colour swatch for it and it looks like a good match. It should be available at any ICI motor supplies paint stockist. I get all my coloured Ducati paints from the local motor factor and he definitely can make it up either as paint for spraying from a gun or as a spray can.
the e bay item above arrived this morning and it looks a reasonable match tbh. came with a same size pot of clear laquer for afterward as well. will see how it dries and looks in light.
The lacquer must be matted down in that case, I believe that's how the originals were done, clear over base as opposed to pure matt paint. With the solid colours like Red and Yellow ICI do a gloss finish paint so there is no need to lacquer. I use the gloss Red a lot and it's much easier not having to lacquer over a base colour.
looked ok on the bits that had paint chipped near the frame bungs, but its a little dark tbh when used to touch in a chip on the frame itself, stands out a bit. maybe back to drawing board for a paint match then
If you find a dealer that has a spectrum analysis machine he can match the colour perfectly but you would need to buy a certain minimum quantity no doubt. My local factor will go down to a 1/4 litre which is quite a lot and you would need it putting into cans unless you have a spray gun\airbrush. It would ensure a perfect match though.
