hi, when i came out of wally world today someone let thier child sit on my bike and my tank now has all sorts of scratches on it, very deep and wont buff out :( besides the little sticky finger prints all over the gadges and grips thats all the damage i can see. i called the local kawasaki dealer here and he had never heard of the drifter ( i still think no one in thier 40s or older should have to listen to anyone who a teenager) the bike shop i bought my drifter from had several sugestions from painting the entire bike to turning it into the ins co. the color is deep gooseberry any sugestions would be greatly apreciated thanks alot huck
Holy cow! Did you get to talk to the parent? How can people be so inconciderate?

Yea, and they must like to live dangerously. Bet the parents weren't in the vicinity and let their kids run wild. Of course, had they burnt themselves on hot pipes they'd have sued!
Cheers.
Here you go....Just the ticket! http://www.colorrite.com/matrix-colors.cfm?CFID=954673&CFTOKEN=77073850

I'm not sure if the color formula is available or not. If not i've used the so called ' the camera' as we call it at work. It's a device we use in our bodyshop when the text formula doesn't match what we are trying to match.Sometimes we can have 10 or more variances of the same color and still doesn't match. Made by Dupont, we polish a spot and lay this hand held unit over a flat panel of existing paint. The 'camera' takes a reading and is downloaded into a computer and spits out a formula for that color. I've used it to get a formula for my drifter and was a pretty acurate match. Fairly common equipment these days in bodyshops.
Hello,
here in Germany I get everybody orginal colour as a spray or touch up.
postbought. If I the colour of your motorcycle had I would send to you something. Photo of your motorcycle is enough.

Huck,
Call any car dealer where you live and get the name of his "touch-up" person. They can custom mix to the exact color of your bike and if you wish they can repair the scratches for you better than you can. This is a great alternative to DIY Touch-up or body shop repair. I've been operating a touch-up business for 24 years and if you lived here I could make you the paint in a couple of minutes.
:)
WOW!!!!! I was wondering what the color was called on my Drifter
Firecracker Red!
Thanks
Well the damage is done. I use a short shade to stop that from happening along with an zone alarm. The owners name is Rich, mention that Slick sent you his way if you follow up. A discount is available if about 10 bikes order. Free shipping ends soon ! . This is a first class product. I have one for each bike. http://cycleshade.com/
