2006 purple paint code

[flybysr1]

Well it happened. I chipped the paint on my 2006 purple mastiff. I fumbled the gas cap and it ended up tagging the rear fender. It's causing me to lose sleep so, I'm heading out now to remove the fender. Does anybody happen to know the paint code for this purple puppy?

Thanks PK!

Thanks Dent! I talked to the PPG folks today. They want to scan the fender. I'm hoping to confirm with the number.

Find a local reputable collision shop that has or can access a scanner that reads and matches thenoaint perfectly

This does not always work. Had that done with my Mustang when someone backed into the rear bumper. It ended up three shades darker in the sunlight.

All the shops I deal with never have an issue this is the first I've heard of a problem

Ha! That's exactly what my riding buddies said while I was standing there at the gas pump in deep sadness wanting to kick my own ass. I'm just going to fix the chip with filler and re-spray base and clear in my garage... quart of paint probly $150 but it be there for the next time?

It's okay Dent, I didn't even see the typo or maybe that word was written in bigdoglish.

I was able to get a 1/2 pint of paint mixed just recently for something and was surprised they would mix that small of an amount, it cost me $28 and it was a new color with pearl added, so maybe it won't cost too much

He was prolly having a hard time reaching the keyboard cause it was on the bar top instead
of the kitchen table.

While my fender is off, I'm going upgrade the strut bolts to 7/16 grade 8 chrome. Comments welcome.

 

[flybysr1]

Ut oh... Head popped of while removing. The bolts are upgraded already.

Are you sure they are 7/16?
My 07" is 3/8-16 x 1-1/4" and 1", 2 of each

You got it right. The current hardware 3/16-16 hardened alloy ASTM 574. One was broke so, bigger hardware is in order. The bike doesn't have 2000 miles on it and it has never been 2up. I just ordered rear pegs, need more safety.

He speaks western New York...it's gibberish and no one understands it ..

Don't get me started on grade 8 bolts..

I think there was a recall on the bolts not sure which years and models

There was a recall, and what they did was go from Grade 5 to Grade 8, it is not necessary to go bigger, I've been riding 2 up since day one and never had a problem. On my 07' the bolt heads are counter bored into the strut and a 7/16 socket head bolt would not fit, let alone drilling and retapping the 7/16 threads.
