So I have tried all over the place to find the right black paint for my 695 (black with red frame).
My searches found these two paint codes,

PPG Metallic Black 291.500

PPG Metallic Black 291.501

but my local car parts store said that this wasn't right and a mix can't be made from them, they told me to look under my seat for a code but there's no codes there! I have also spoken to companys on the phone who do alot of Ducati paint etc but the black i'm after has never been requested and they only do matches from original parts,
so does anyone know a decent match? Maybe another Ducati model uses the same colour???
Or am I just going to have to use black gloss paint for say halfords and hope it looks nearly the same?

Thanks
rob

Have you tried R & S Paint - they are specialist motorcylce paint people, they had a perfect match for my engine casings and were very helpful, cannot speak more highly of the service they gave me
