HP

most bike spray/repair shops will try rubbing/polishing out light scratches before they try mixing and matching or touching up bike paint
why?
becoz it is very difficult/hard to get a match
in fact
a touch up with some of the metalllics can look decidely BAD

there is not such thing as motorbike touch up cans. It would be good business if u can source them from overseas.

some Kwaka greens are solids (like on the ZXR750s)
others (like on my 12R) are metallic
just depends on the model
