red paint

[twisty]

comparing a red corsaro tailpiece with a ducati red front mudguard (ducati 620 monster) the paint was identical.

I just need to look at another ducati fender to double check as i had two guards one from a 620 monster and i think the other was from an 900 monster.

held up to the light i couldn't see any difference in colour match at all

Just need to have a look in sunlight to confirm

update

checked in natural daylight with both mudguards from the monsters and i couldn't tell the difference. If someone told me that the fender was from the morini i'd have believed them as there was no difference.

next step is to buy a touch bottle to confirm.

And just what exactly are you up to twisty?

fancied a change of colour ,so started collecting parts.

makes me wonder if the silver that goes with the red is a ducati colour as well

Don't forget to post pics now, will you?

That would be handy if they were the same.

Next question is, is the Corsaro red the same red as the 9 1/2?

i'll lend you a small infill panel to check , but only if i receive it right back
or i may be able to give you a paint flake from the underside of an old tank

tried a touch up tin of ducati rosso red, looked very close in colour but i'll need to try blending in to a paint chip in an old part of i've got to see if it blends in.

Also had some ducati metalic silver from a multistrada 1000 which when painted on looks very similar, but again a touch up is thick and the spray version is thinner, so i'll try the same touch up with the paint , apply laquer to overfill and buff down with 2000 grade paper and polish up.

trouble is uv light tends to degrade older paint and makes a new patch look brighter.
