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

any decent paint supplier should be able to supply or 'mix' what you require as you have the correct Suzuki paint codes

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,!

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!)
