Hi all, I have a 2015 B5 Bullet in Forest Green. I've managed to put some scratches on the tank, quite deep ones, due to putting away another bike next to it in a dark garage when I was cold and wet and in too much of a hurry. I've spoken to our hosts who say they don't carry that particular paint, so I was asking if anyone else has had to 'touch up' a forest green bullet? And if so, what did you use?

Ta!

What happened to the touch up paint that should have been supplied along with the inner tuber and spare cables etc?

Never got any of that - the dealer had never seen any with the B5's he got delivered, only the classics. I did have two innertubes though, but both wrong size

Hi Dean,

We do have some cans of genuine paint here which we do not advertise - I have found a can which is marked up SEP META GREEN ( 1K74 ) could this be the colour of yours? If you are popping by have a look - I will leave it on the side for you,Please test first ! Wayne @ Hitchcocks.

A good auto paint supplier will be able to do you one from a sample.

I also have a 2015 Forest Green B5. I received a box (about the size of 2 shoeboxes) that had cables, tube, spanners, reflectors and a can of touch up spray paint. I haven't used it so can't be sure about the colour match. It has the same markings as the can that Wayne has i.e. SEP meta green (1K74). It may be worth giving this a try initially (on an inconspicuous location)

Brill, thanks guys.
