Default probelm buying color matched parts for f4i

hey guys i have a yellow and black 2002 f4i and ive tried to get parts, undertail and rear tire hugger in the pearl flash yellow, well i bought a hotbodies undertail that came in looking a little greenish yellow not a match at all. hotbodies dont seem to wanna change it out for me lol i also ordered the targa rear tire hugger but they gave back my money saying they ddint have it in stock.
i was just wondering if anyone else had these problems buying color match matched parts for there bikes, also i was wondering if anyone had a bike in my color with maybe a black hugger on it? maybe you could post a pic so i can see how it looks.

thanks for talking the time to read this

How about buying one thats not painted and take it to a body shop and have them match the paint to your bike.

If you prep it yourself and they just spray itmost times it is a lot cheaper.

You can get a pretty good match from Color-rite. http://www.color-rite.com/

We repainted a tank for a customer on a Kawi Z10000 and it was a dead on match.

I know Targa was having a hell of a time with the blues. Glad I just got unpainted and decided to custom color my bike.
