what did you do with your fazer today ?

That's what I'd do - getting a colour that's "close enough" will do, as long as you paint the whole thing.

I may well do that. I've been looking at any silver cars I went past today because I'd like to replicate the "pearl" finish, rather than just getting a flat silver.

If you've got the time to let the paint cure for a couple of days, I'd give it a final 2 coats of Halfords Heavy Duty PU Clear Lacquer to finish the job off. I've used it when I repainted my frame, front mudguard and my fork sliders and it gives a deeply shiny and durable finish - but if you put it on before the paint has gone off, it crinkles up something rotten (don't ask me how I know  :lol )

Oops!

Thanks for the advice :thumbup
