Has anyone got a 2015 Scott Plasma 10 and knows the colour code or the nearest match for the white paintwork? Scott don't do patch paint so it's either guess or trial and error.

TIA

    email them and ask for the RAL code for the paint colour, if they used a standard one you can get matching touch-up paint off the shelf, for instance http://www.express-paints.co.uk/ral-touch-up-pot-brush/ if they used a mix of RAL colours, you can follow the mix

    if they won't tell you, see if there's a paint shop/designer/whatever near you with a spectrophotometer, they can measure the colour to find a match, for instance https://www.brewers.co.uk may do it

    Cheers, Scott won't provide the colour code. Asked and they just won't. I have considered the colour match even what Halfords can do but I was looking to see if anyone had a decent match already before I drag a part of my bike off to Halfords for a match.
