[Ducati] Pantah Paint

[George Betzhold]

Have you contacted your local PPG automotive paint supplier? They can
computer match your color. I did it when I restored my 73 Sport. They were
able to scan paint that had been covered for 27 years and reproduce it very
accurately (at least to my eye).

Hi Donald,
This is what the vintage bike color master Rich Lambrechts told me - There  
is no direct match. Try starting with Chrysler products Butane Blue (circa  
2003/2004) it'll be a little dark but they might be able to play with it and

color match it from there. Your results will depend on what  you are doing
- if 
it's a complete respray it will look fine. If you are touching up it will
be 
close but not perfect.

Can  anyone guide me to a good touch up color match for the Silver Mist (I 
think  that's what it's called) paint on my '81 Pantah 500SL?  desmo.org  
mentions Porsche Helibua for color match but when I search on it I get only
the 
desmo.org site!  Color-rite doesn't go back to 1981, and other  searches
come up 
null.  

By the way, I found an "as new" seat for  the old bugger on eBay; won it at 
$99.00.  Not bad at all.  With the  seat and paint she'll run like a dream 
(heh, heh).  Works Performance  shocks should arrive end of this week so I
can 
stop worrying about bottoming  out on pot- and gopher-holes, maybe.
California 
Winter will see a  moderate tear-down and refurb with well-oiled machine 
emerging a few months  later.  Still building up mechanical confidence to do
a 
200-mi day.   Wanted to ride to the  Ducati Ho-down at La Honda this year
but 
wasn't  confident she was up to it yet.  Maybe next year.   
Best
Donald
