Paint Match For BRP's Viper Red

[kevorama]

I purchased a pair of Vertika Trykes Air Scoops from Reggy at SpyderFest 2013 and took them to my paint guy the Monday after. I gave him the print out on U.S. Paints, which seems to be the only company that you can get the paint codes for BRP products. Go figure. Chris has color matched all of my projects by eye and experience. I trust him more than I do U.S. Paints and they are even in my neck of the woods. They pulled out some color swatches and placed them up to the Spyder. We found an exact match for the tint of Viper Red when my 2011 ran through the spray booth.
Oddly enough, it happens to be the Chrysler High Performance Red PR3.

It even turns the same color of orange if you shoot it in the sun!

The following pics show the match job.

Ryde safe!


Not only are they really cool looking, they are very functional. They keep the engine's temp a click or two under 3 O'clock.

Reggy at TricLED is going to be the U.S. supplier for Vertika. He should have his site up in the near future.

Thanks for the tip on the Chrysler High Performance Red PR3 being a good match for the Can Am Viper Red color. I like to keep a small bottle of paint on hand as a just in case for any nicks or rock hits, and I don't understand why BRP doesn't provide bottles of touch up paint for sale. Unless they don't want to deal with any possible Haz. Mat. issues. Anyway, I ordered a bottle of the Mopar Red PR3 touch up paint, and it took two days to get here. I picked it up today at our local Dodge/Chrysler dealer, price $11.10. <M>

Unless I am missing something, I am not surprised the paint match found is by Chrysler, since the Viper is made by Dodge/Chrysler.

I really do like the air-scoops though. Saw those at SF. Seems these should have been the design by Spyder in the first place.

Not sure of their price... but I suspect they are not giving them away...

They aren't cheap at $600 a pair, but they just look soooo cool!

I hope the PR3 touch up paint works for you.
