Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to get a paint that is the same color as the grey that Honda used on the older 400ex frames and a-arms (mine is a 2003)? I know I could most likely bring a chip of the paint to a paint store and get it matched up but wanted to know if Honda actually sells any "touch up" paint at all for this? I could not find any info on this.

are you really looking to touch up your frame? or just paint it factory color?

I dont think they do. Best match i found was smoke gray rustoleum that I blended with the stock frame. I lightly sprayed everything blending it and people thought my quad was brand new.

Yeah I was just looking to touch up some spots on the frame pretty much. I would love to get it PC but am not too comfortable with stripping it completely down just yet. I am pretty sure I am going to end up doing it over the winter though but figured for now I will just touch it up. Looks like I will go for that paint CJM mentioned.
