If you do it right it's not a "buy a can of paint and slap it on" kind of thing and just going by the paint code won't give you a perfect match all the time either, especially with the Pearl Yellow. The yellow is made by a company named Glasarith who makes paints for Mercedes & BMW and it's pretty expensive...

The paint process is white base, yellow, then clear and if you check inside your fairings, you can see the white base spray over.

Thats about the same as I have found. I intend to let a pro do my lower fairing and I have found out that orieleys ( and auto parts store in the south don't know if you have one.) will match paint and put it in a shaker can. I think I'll go with that to do the wheels. they wont bee seen enough to warrant 1000.00 in paint and work i think just a close match will be fine on those. or maybe not anyone painted their wheels how close did you have to match the paint.

btw i think i have picked the most difficult paint on a bike to match pearl yellow what was I thinking......Oh ya i remember YELLOW IS THE BEST..LOL
