675 Scorched yellow - help

[quattro750]

OK here's one for the paint matching / mixing types.

I have two 675 daytona track bikes and I love the scorched yellow. Problem is that the colour is a pain to even attempt to match according to the paint people I have had conversations with. OK I understand this as it is achieved by laying one colour over another (sort of).
Code IVC 1000792(L4819) = Colourite 1043 base + 30025 top.

Anyway the reason I want paint is so that I can do it myself (self satisfaction and availability for fairing touch ups).
All I really want is to mix a single tint that comes up somewhere close to the original colour. Doesn't have to be perfect nor have the depth of pearl, just close enough. I had a fellow mix up what he called strontium yellow a few years ago and that is what I painted my track fairing with. It's close enough for me. He no longer works in the paint business

I am now frustrated with the people I have dealt with recently because they don't seem to get "close enough" and "someone did it before successfully". Seems they keep thinking "has to be exact" so therefore multi-layer blah blah....

Anyway bottom line is I don't want to have to take the bikes back to a shop every time I want to repaint. Can any of you gentle peeps help this old DIY track tragic

Try Ryan at Custom Modifications next to where Prt Twin used to be in Malaga
He is / can be a bit of a perfectionist but it's worth a shot

I get my paint here and find the guys good. Had paint matched for a red Ducati and the result was excellent. A couple of older guys own the business and the english guy did matching.

Often during the week younger staff are running the business and I don't know if they have the same eye for colour.

were the origonal fairings close enough? that was just a single layer acrylic out of rattle cans i had a guy in malaga mix up, cant remember if i cleared over them or not, if thats all you need ill look up his details for you.

thanks chaps, I shall give the fellow in Balcatta a try.

Seano I got a colour a bit closer and more striking than when you had her.

Yeah that was a bit of a rush job, was a little too green, may have been better with a white primer under it, the guy in balcatta is pretty good, im sure he will sort you out

+1 for Autopower Car Paint he is really helpful and has always done a good job for me.

Was recommended by a friend to try a paint place on the corner of Collier Road and Beechboro Road South, Bayswater. (Sorry can't remember the name of the place) they couldn't help with what I wanted but they seemed to have a large motorcycle colour matching book.
