Steve: Thanks for posting; I'm going to print that to see how closely it matches the bike. I've used the Testors to touch up & it does look different but that may be just the brushing on & lack of proper prep. I'll see if the painter can work with the CMYK code. That's the sort of info I was looking for.
I contacted Testors customer service to see if they can provide cross reference to an auto paint available in sufficient quantity. We'll see what they come up with. dougP On Feb 26, 11:51 am, "Steve D." <s_dem...@yahoo.com> wrote: > After successfully painting my Silca pump with the touch up paint that > Riv sent with my Atlantis frame that I bought in '03, I've been > considering painting my SKS plastic fenders to match.
