999 Magnesium paint match needed

  1. hi.
    just want to touch a few marks up on my headlight bucket.
    its magnesium and i have searched the forum but cannot see info I found ages ago regarding a colour match

    anyone point me to where to buy it / colour reference etc...
    thanks
     
  2. Magnesium engine gold, by Colorite #7620 I think, is the best match.

    Or surprisingly Fiat Gold' #527
     
  3. do they have a UK place to buy ??
     
  4. How do you start a new thread?
    cheers
     
  5. Color Rite are an exclusively Us' company I think, but they will ship you a touch up pen/brush

    Best to contact them via email.

    Ducati Magnesium Engine Gold
     
  6. Click forum at the top of the page then select the subject page you wish to post in ( ie Superbiikes or technical ) then at the top of the page it says New thread.

  7. My 999 doesn't have any gold painted parts. I have just bought some Ducati engine silver for the headlight cluster.
     
  8. mines a 999s with magnesium upgrade. its gold. just a slight touch up needed for a chip
     
  9. Been warned not to dismantle headlamp bucket.
     
  10. why lol ???
     
  11. Because you'll need a daytime MOT!
     
  12. haha you have lost me lol.
    touching a chip up
    but intrigued why I shouldnt take it apart ??
     
  13. is this the same as my 916 headlamp shell?? theres a couple of flakes on it i'd like to rectify over winter..
     
  14. hey funky
    I presume the material is the same but obviously the part is different.
    if so exposed magnesium will corrode and fester with air.
     
  15. Try RS Bike paint. They do from touch up pens to litres of paint and everything i've had has been exact match. Even on my rare, why did you buy that colour?, purple and lavender GSXR 1100.
