Graze repair
Sorry if this has been posted before- I'm after a bit of advice.
Today I noticed there is a small, but deep, graze on the front of my 2015 white PCX:
Someone must have scraped past me while parked.
What I need is a touch- up pot, just like you buy for cars. Now I spoke to the guy at local Honda garage. He told me "Honda don't sell touch- up paint for bikes", and he directed me to a company called R S Motorbike paints in Hertfordshire.
Do I need to buy the touch- up paint from them? The 2015 "pearlescent" white is a different shade of white to the previous years I believe? So I need to be sure I get the right colour.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Re: Graze repair
I'm in London, UK.
http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-us/colour ... dyear=2013
On that website, under 2013 PCX, they have "pearl cool white" listed as a colour. But I'm guessing that is different to the 2015 white.

Re: Graze repair
AFAIK the white used on all PCX models is Pearl Himalaya White.
The colour code should be on a sticker under the seat.
This looks like the stuff, but check first...

Re: Graze repair
Pearl Himalaya white is pre- 2012, after that it's "pearl cool" and then I think 2015 is a different colour too, "pearlescent". If you look on the drop down boxes on that site for the different years you'll see that pearl Himalaya is different to pearl cool

Re: Graze repair
Ha wow, that's the colour I need! But I also need the specific basepaint and the lacquer. It's a 2 stage paint.

Re: Graze repair
Great to know you can buy these - esp. if they are the right colour (white with silver bits and not white with gold bits)

Re: Graze repair
yes this is worth tucking away for future reference when some numb nut nicks mine.
Re: Graze repair
Have you checked to see how much a replacement panel would cost? In the end it might look better and be easier than touching up. The finish on the white '15 PCX is a really nice Pearl

Re: Graze repair
There are company's that do smart repairs on small paint blemishes like that. Someone like chips away or such like might do a reasonable job. Probably better that doing it yourself unless you just want a quick touch in to take your eye off it.
Liquid paper or tipex with some glitter in it? Joking...........

Re: Graze repair
Ok I've bought the three required touch- up bottles (base layer, Pearl Cool white paint, and lacquer), and they will probably arrive on monday.
He said that with three- stage paints, its quite tricky to do it yourself. I do want it to look as good as it can, so I might take it to a body shop and see if they'll do it for cheap. If not I might have to try to do it myself. The small bottles cost me £35! That's about $55.

Re: Graze repair
In the U.S., that panel is $23US to purchase. A bigger problem is removing and replacing it! Lol

Re: Graze repair
^ yep, that's exactly why I didn't suggest that However, it can be done if the 2014/2015 plastics are available. Who said December?

Re: Graze repair
Just a quick stupid question. While I am waiting to paint over that graze, is there any risk of rust?
