Im looking for some advice on getting my H1B repainted to the original Orange I bought it and it has a reasonable paint job but it is no where near the original colour, I have a bike painter in Scotland who done a great job on my GT750 but he used a magic eye to copy the red on my tank and though I was happy for him to paint the colour as i liked it it wasn't like the original colour , I want to get my H1B as close to original as possible should I get my man to do it using the two base coats and the top coat finished with the lacquer from RS paints or does anyone have a colour that is close that will give a good finish, or is there someone in the central belt of Scotland that specializes in painting triples.
Thanks in advance
