Colormight you mean!! I've tried them a couple of times before...not satisfied, and there paints seems cheap IMO. There was someone on this site who said they could match the hard paints and a few people gave him props on his work.... Thanks for the info though wilson.

Wilson, He knows who you speak of. If you look at as few pics of my bike, you will see the Color is waay off. No they are not cheap in price, but sometimes in appearance. He is looking for the "Person" that did the Paint work!

Blu, make it easy on you, just send the parts to Crashtech and call it good....when you get them back they will be a perfect match.....he painted my 12, and my 10 already, he has my 600 now, and has painted parts of Rogers 12 and lucky12's bike as well. Not to mention lots of Turbo GPz's and such.....he is very reasonable.......email him or sent him a shout on the board....

I am assuming you painted the bike a gold base then the green..
The paint is like a candy style paint(transparent), the more you lay on the darker it gets... Each coats darkens it....
Looks to me like your tail section needed a few more coats to darken up for the match...
