Anyone help on paint match for 85 frame. Engine off, good time to touch up. Into riding season, no powder coating right now.

Come one, some one has to have a recommendation for a color match. Krylon silver grey or any leads to a anyone that can get me to a rep or paint duplicator? Just need a couple spots touched up to dress the bike up. Should get engine back next week. Have some bike shows coming up. The old girl needs a litlle make-up. Have new lower cowl coming, missed on on new front fairing. Would of been nice to have a good backup.

pstamper, here's a link to the colors that will work ...I spent the time trying to match up the red, white & blue stripe color... the silver or grey that is listed is a hair darker it can be blended some and it should work not sure if it will be bike show quality ,, just buff out your silencers a little brighter ..

I listed the colors from PPG and Matrix paint company's and Steve listed / added them from Sherwin Williams ....maybe this will get you started ......PM sent

Thanks for suggestions, I work on the A/C at some of the Sherwin Williams stores. Hopefully they will help me out.

When I did my frame I used PPG / Deltron 2000 base coat covered with a clear. The closest match my paint guy could find was:
OEM: ICO Toyota DBC5557 H Silver.

Some pics here.

where have you been old guy ... or is it creepy eye guy

... thats the same silver I came up with about 6years ago Dave,, the ppg number is 5557 and get it in any flavor base,clear or single stage ... it's a hair dark to the original I think but it looked great on your X Euro model......
