Nice looking bike JB.

For touch up, if it’s not a standard colour your local panel beaters or paint supplier can make you up a little manually colour matched bottle to suit. My ST is a standard colour (police white) but the standard colour recipe wasnt even close so they ended up doing a manual colour match anyhow.

Wow!  A silver ST1100.  Looks beautiful!  Keep it looking like that and you'll take out the Concors prize at the Tassie National Rally next year.

Hi John,

Welcome from just up the road at Peterborough.

The first 1100 was a silver colour but more of an interest is the reflectors (???) on the cases. Unusual for the Australian ones.

That sounds like the painter was trying to copy the 2003 ST1300 "silver" which might be called "champagne".

A large Welcome,

My ST11 was also silver when I purchased it.  Back in december a young guy pulled out directly in front of me and I laid it down on the RHS to avoid the impact into the side of his car.

So after a little bit of negotiation with my panel shop he painted her now in a Red of my choice and I provided all the labour in removing and reinstalling the plastic.

I will post some pics later under a different Topic.
