Paint Chip

[Spydee8]

Yesterday while doing a 200 mile ryde with a group, we got a chip in the paint probably due to a rock. Can we buy touch up paint? We have a 2012 RT-S Viper Red. Thanks for any assistance.

Viper Red Touch Up Paint.

I posted this a while back, in response to another post about Viper Red touch up paint:

"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>"

I haven't needed to use the touch up paint yet, but, I'm trusting that it is a good match. Bye. <M>

I have never used this but you might give it a try. They have Can Am touch up in all the colors. Their web address is https://touchupdirect.com/

Ordered a small bottle from Color Rite. Included a small touchup brush also. You can order off the web. Matched great. We also have a red RT.

I have the Touchup Direct paint and it was easy to apply and matched well (on my old RT)

I bought some touch up paint on amazon.com. They had all colors and it comes in a tube like a magic marker. I haven't tried it yet since the temp has to be over 70 degrees but will probably get to it next week.

I'm getting a set of saddlebags and the insert doesn't match my spyder. So thanks to this thread and the link mwkess posted I now have a source to get matching spray paint. I am thinking that one can should be enough to cover both givi bag inserts. What do you guys think?

I have used Color Rite on other bikes and always matched as promised....good product

Keep the chip, it shows she ain't a trailer queen.

I like your style... :thumbup:

The dings, chips and scratches are just "Merit Badges" that have been earned through the passage of time, and many miles!

Had a rock chip and my wife suggested going to her nail salon, I thought she was crazy but took the bike and went. They were more helpful than most repair shops. Brought out several different colors of red and they had me open the trunk and they put a small line of polish on the inside until they found the exact color. Those gals were good, found it on the 4th try. Best $6 I ever spent. Of course, my wife did not let me live it down for about a week.
