Paint Code V7 III Centenario
« on: September 16, 2022, 12:31:45 AM »
Hi all, Had my recently purchased (2nd hand) V7 Stone at a dealers for warranty service and it came back with some noticable scratches & chips on one Muffler. The dealer of course denied any wrongdoing.

Does anyone know the code and /or formula for the matte black on the V7 III Stone mufflers so I can maybe get a local autopaint shop to mix me some.

Seems like a tall order to get touch-ups to match with hi-temp matte paint on exhaust parts. If you are talking about painting the entire things, I would say just take them for Cerakote and probably never worry about chipping/scratching again

I do feel your pain on the dealer scuffing it.
I just took one of my bikes for a fork rebuild (one of those things I can do, but if I order the parts, they will sit on my bench for a year before I get around to it) and when I got it back, it ran fine for a day or two... Then I was hauling ass around in the mountains when suddenly one cylinder cut out.  I looked down and my spark plug lead was swinging in the breeze.  They had tipped my bike over, which broke the plug cap, bent the threaded post... AND THEY JUST SHOVED IT BACK ON WITH A CRACKED CAP AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME  :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:

Needless to say I wont be using that indy shop anymore

Yeah thanks for that, My dealer is 300kms away and every ser4vice requires "1 week holiday" for the bike as the local branch of the dealership doesn't service MG's
 There are also only some dodgy refinishers, but thanks for the info.. We have a guy called the Paint Doctor who can probably repair it but it will require me to sacrifice my first born to cover the cost.

Country Australia is not the best place to get intricate or unusual stuff done. If it was a white Toyota Landcruiser truck...... NO PROBS,
