Default were to get oem paint from?????

so i'm finally gettin sick of lookin at my scratched up fairing. i've fixed everything but that. so now i need to know where i can get the oem 07 gsxr blue so that i can get this done already...

i'm thinkin bout a complete color change, but i really don't want to tear the bike down that much..it's just not worth it to me.

thanks for the help tr

talk to your paint rep at the paint shop, itll be something small i know, like a pint or some ish...you can also go to NAPA, they do custom colors, and ANYONE can get the 'gixxer blue' so long as you go in there with your paint code, there is NOTHING special about their reds, blues, whites, yellows etc etc being mixed together than someone else with a paint maching can't match PERFECTLY.

5 coats!?!?! Holy crap. Oh, are you including the clear coat in that. That just seems high to me. I thought that you should only use like 2-3 coats.
