I used the factory paint code and matched up some single stage paint at a local automotive paint store with the help of a friend and his spray gun painted my mid section. I used etching primer on then spayed the color over it and have had no problems. I first tried the spray cans from my local BRP dealer and it turned out good. All the paint turned green on my after bout three weeks. Dunno why. Thats when I sandblasted it all off and then painted jus the mid-section and left the foot bare aluminum. Looks cool!
