Hi guys,

There are a few deep scratches where I think a previous owner attached a gear indicator (and made a bit of a mess of it).

The problem is, I can't find the paint code anywhere!

The colour is slightly different from the swingarm which I can find the paint code of (this is more of a bluey-black - the swingarm is more of graphite-black).

Has anyone got any ideas how I can get a colour match?

I doubt it helps, but I do at least have the part number (STAY A, UPPER COWL - 64501MEE000, which is from an '03 600rr).

Remove all the paint and polish it and then you can pretend it is custom made from billet.

Would remove it and just repaint the whole thing in generic satin black.
