After three weeks of trying to find a paint to touch up the GP800 I've finally given up.
The paint code is 79/A Graphite Black. Been to four auto paint shops and not one can help.
They can find the code on their systems but no mixing data. Phoned the dealer no help
what so ever . Sent an email to Piaggio UK who eventually sent me another code
GE2-9350 and guess what paint shops can't even find it on their systems.
So looking like a complete repaint. Ferrari Rossa maybe?
Time for a rethink.

Re: Time for a rethink.
Have you thought of plastidip ?? you can get it in spray cans, a lot easier than respray, and when you dont like the colour, it just peels off

Re: Time for a rethink.
Plastidip it if you want a conventional paint job in matt, you can do a clear shiney top coat with the special Plastidip stuff but it makes it harder to come off.
Wrap it in vinyl if you want a special effect wrap like my pearlescent white/blue

Might be easier to find a replacement panel from a scrapped bike?
