Anyone know a good place to get bike paints. I want to do some touch up / repair work to mine and would like to use the proper colours, not the closest car colour match!

Cheers

You'll never get a perfect match even with the proper paint stick things. But your local friendly dealer should be able to order them. If you want perfect sorry but it's a respray

Your local dealer should be able to get them or contact a spray shop and they can make it up as long as you have the right paint codes

There is a place up in Old Town of Swindon that will mix a can of paint to your bike colour, ie if your red has red a bit dull then they will make a paint to suit the dull red, I can not remember the name of the paint shop off of the top of my head but I will find out for you.
