How to fix your cracked fairings - or not as the case maybe

[hammer5]

I did a nooby thing and reversed the bike with the wheel lock still in resulting in cracking the fairing; thankfully its just the surface paint and not the actual plastic. Albeit this was a few months ago so yesterday i thought i will get some Aprilia paint and do a touch up job... Easy? after research it appears Aprilia will not release the paint codes So....... I thought ok women of the 21st century have all these colours for there fingers, i will try some nail varnish - until i can find the codes.. :WTF:

I sent the boss into town to get some "Orange" nail varnish with a photo of the colour i needed! She came home with the exact colour, so i was well pleased, cleaned all the fairing down and applied the nail varnish!

This is the before shot.

Its a good job i don't work in either A. the cosmetic industry or B. in the respray industry!!! At least it will stop it getting worse and i can always wear some pink leathers lol

All i need to do now is get the colour scheme from somewhere :lame::lame:

Doesnt matter if you have the colour code anyway, I've found out to my expense that hardly anyone makes it up properly anyway
