Title: Paint for a 2001 GS500
Post by: GaryIF on March 08, 2004, 10:10:42 PM
I've got a 2001 GS500.  Can someone recommend an online supplier of the factory color paint (and clear coat)?  I've got a quarter fairing that is gloss black and looks fine but I'd like to paint it to match the rest of the bike.

Thanks.

they're in SoCal and I think Canada. This color above applies if yours is a USA 2001 gs500...Canada color is different, but uses same name and number...dont ask why.

check my site-ducati fairing page in particular. I have a 2001 gs500 and painted my fairing with this spray paint. Make sure you get their clear coat too (about $30/can for color, $15/can for clear) Call them and get specifics about how to paint it. they're really good about giving you this info to ensure a good finish.

be warned though-mines about a year old now and it shows its age with small chips in it. Black underneath wont show them like my red one does (hardly noticeable though). There is no substitute for professional work.
