Hi all - got an NK1K with a couple of paint chips - Cipo will not tell me the paint code "due to security" so before my repairer starts the matching process, has anyone got the code ????

Cheers

    Having had years ago my Aprilia RSV re-painted on the belly pan with fluo orange it was a difficult task to match the colour. Any decent painter should be able to match/blend but fluo paints can be difficult. In 1990 when I bought my Marin Pine Mountain with fluo orange forks there was a couple of bottles of touch-up, unsure why manufacturers stopped doing this?

    Have you thought of going down the the nail varnish route first?

    (Depends on chip size I suppose)

    Yeah, just think what would happen if Al Qaeda got the paint codes for Cipollini bikes.

    Just an update - Target Composites, Warrington matched the paint perfectly and didn't charge very much to sort the damage - Phil is a top bloke

    Would recommend them and would definitely use them again

    Thanks for the link. Squirelled away in case. The guy certainly seems to rate your Cipollini!
