Why Colour Match Matters
When Paint Code Alone Isn't Enough
A panel that doesn't match is the thing that follows your bike everywhere. Accurate colour matching is what separates a noticeable repair from an invisible one — and guesswork is the enemy of a perfect result.
Factory paint codes give us a starting point, but they represent the colour when your bike left the factory. Sun exposure, heat cycling and weathering shift the actual colour over time. We measure what's physically on your bike — not what a code says should be there.
Using computerised spectrophotometry, we identify the precise pigment ratios of your existing paintwork, adjust the formula for fade and age, then test on a panel before anything touches your bike. Our standard is simple: if you can see the difference under any light, it's not good enough.
Our Process
How We Match Your Colour
-
01
Spectrophotometric Paint Analysis
We scan your existing paintwork with a spectrophotometer — measuring precise light reflectance across the surface. This gives us the exact pigment ratios, independent of factory records or previous resprays.
-
02
Custom Formula Development
Using the scan data, we formulate a custom paint batch tailored to your bike's actual colour — not just the factory specification. This accounts for any variation introduced by the original manufacturer.
-
03
Age & Fade Compensation
Older paint fades and shifts in tone. We adjust the formula to match your bike's current colour, not the original factory shade — so new panels blend in rather than stand out.
-
04
Test Panel Evaluation
Before any paint goes on your bike, we apply the formula to a test panel and evaluate it under multiple light sources — shop lighting, daylight and direct sun — until we're satisfied the match is correct.
-
05
Full Respray & Clear Coat Seal
The matched colour is applied in our dust-free spray booth and sealed with premium clear coat — ensuring the colour integrity and finish durability match the standard of the surrounding original panels.
When You Need It
