Restoration of 1979 sidecovers

[cbx1260cc]

Has anyone been able to find a good match for the matte finish color of the 1979 side covers??

I have a pair that are painted purple and want to strip them down, very lightly sand them, then repaint. I KNOW the good painters will butt pucker when I say this but would like to be able to use a "rattle can" color for the repaint.


Anyone done this before and willing to share your method(s) and the paint brand and color you used?


Thank you,
Ricardo

I've had good luck with Krylon's semi-gloss black in a spray can for various other projects, including painting plastics. Duplicolor also makes a good line of products and you might see what they have. No harm in trying a low cost alternative since you can always sand it off again.
