Hi

My son's bike was knocked over in the car park and cracked the top part of the fairing. Have bought the replacement part from Fowlers in Bristol (remarkably only £70) and now need the paint. Does anyone know how I can find the pantone or paint code, the bike is an Aprilia RS50 Lorenzo Spain's number 1 replica. I have been pointed to RS Bike Paint who have it in stock (I guess they mix it to order) but if I can get the code the bodyshop I am using will mix it to save time. It is the orangy red colour as per picture below.



Many thanks

Phil

Assuming it's not on the V5/servicebook/frame/seat unit, I would just call an Aprilia dealer.

In my experience (admittedly only of other brands) they will tell you the paint code based on the registration, or VIN number.

Alternatively take a bit of the bike to a local paint supplier who will match it using a spectrophotometer.

Thanks for the feedback, the bodyshop have managed to source the paint through their supplier i the end so hopefully it will be the right colour...!
