Paint for my Kat
Gents, I have a pop up Kat from 1985 which is currently dark metallic blue, it was originally pearl shiny white, also the frame has been oversprayed in silver. I am trying to find out where I can get the 16D and 13T paints in the UK, does anybody have any ideas or know where I can get the paint if I decide to do the work myself ? Cheers

Re: Paint for my Kat
To be honest any decent paint supplier can sort it, however it will be water based nowadays and requires a deferent technique.
Could just go for the closet match Nissan metallic gold for frame , and Toyota 070 for the bodywork. We did our pop up project with it and when we took pictures side by side from and original to project ...no deserable difference.
( I wrote the whole project up with pictures , then Windows pulled Xp and I haven't touched the computer since ...the pictures will still be available but it means plugging in .....ok I'll add it to list of stuff I must do SOOOOOOON,! )

Re: Paint for my Kat
If I was going to paint one I'd do it in the GSX750SF colour scheme which i thought was a much better one (and rarer in the UK!)
