Presumably it's a Falco ?

If so and you are trying to match the original colour I believe you will have difficulty. There has been a lot of discussion about colour codes and matching over the years and opinion seems to be that Aprilia don't 'do' paint codes and getting a perfect match is difficult if not impossible.

Even with the same paint as used originally you wouldn't get perfect results due to fading on any not resprayed panels.

I got a seat hump sprayed black (from red) by a mate working in a car body shop and am pleased with the result even though it is just non metallic black and he had nothing of the original paint to match it to.

So I guess what I'm saying is try your local body shop.

Don't know if it's of any use to you, but this was a link to help with paint codes from another forum some time ago.......

I can highly recommend Republic of Paint near Northampton/Kettering. If you click on the Custom Paint link there, you'll see my Fazer which used to be all black and very tatty. It's now in Diamond White with a very slight pearl laquer and red speedblocks with reflective black trim. He's done a very good job as solid white is very hard to do evenly.

first class lads.thanks very much.

Are you anywhere in/near London/Kent?
If so, we found a small repair shop in Sidcup. My other half got her TRX patched up after a crash and the fairing he repaired looks better than the side that wasn't damaged! He does car bodywork repairs/resprays so we only asked on the off-chance but were very glad we did. Cost around £100 for filling in a bloody great big hole, fixing the cracks and respraying in the original racing green.
Haven't got the number handy but if you phone Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres and ask to speak to Rob, they'll shout across the yard to him!

I've used Cycle Sprays in Cranleigh Surrey, Tony did a bang up job on my Blade tank few years ago.
