It's called or 'VIVID RED COCKTAIL' (VRC7) according to my Lechler colour chips & is a 3 stage paint! So if your wanting some to repaint a panel it will be about £40-50 for 1/4 of a litre.

If you get Halfords to do it for you and you use the paint and get a good match you`ll be very lucky.I ended up spraying my bellypan black as the only way to get a good match is to buy the base paint and top coat together from a good supplier such as RS Bikepaint and that will cost you nearly £60 for a few spraycans. They also do a touchup for stone chips and stuff.
Maybe I should have bought a black fazer and not a red one!

itl be an ink dyed laquer  as well so colour matching is dependent on the amount of coats you put on so blowing it in isent an option full panels only
