Do motorbike paints generally cost about the same as car paints, and are they as readily available, or would i have to get in touch with the manufacturers? Im looking for a nice darkish blue for my new project, and saw a yamaha R1 which i think looks really nice!

Or any other similar suggestions? The impreza blue is nice but not sure if it will suit the car. The new project is same skirts and rear, but RSR front bumper which is less aggressive than the combat 2, and a bit higher too

if you can get the colour code, if you go to a paint supplier they should be apple to make it up or a dam good match.

depends on which motorbike colour, some motor bike colours are 3 coat colours which have a coloured laquer, so they are a wee bit more,
but as for the R1 blue its just the same as car paint, i know cos i sprayed my corsa with it last year. lovely colour.

The R6 paint I got for touch up was a very good match from halfords for £8 a can.
