RT-622 Trailer Successfully Color Matched

[coastrider]

I just picked up my RT-622 trailer from the paint shop, and I'm pleased to see its a perfect match to my cognac RT-S. The color used was #B284 (alloy orange metallic). Blue Knight had asked the quantity and color of the paint. It required 1.5 quarts, and cost between $350 and $400. The total job came in with tax at $989, not too far out of line with others who've painted a 622.

The only glitch is that the painter declined to apply the new transparent film I'd supplied, saying that without special chemicals used by installers he'd inevitably leave fingerprints on the film. I'm going to try a shop that applies wraps near me.

Now I need to decide whether or not it's worth plastidipping the trailer's rims to match the RT-S black chrome.

Anyone considering color matching their trailer to a cognac bike is advised that the color mentioned above was a perfect match.

painted dash board suggestion on a 2014 RTS-SE6

Here is an other suggestion, paint your dashboard the same color( Cognac) Go to: Deanna777 's My album........................." Dashboard 14 RTS-SE6"........ started Thread on 9/14/14.

you will see my painted dashboard( I have a 2014RTS-SE6 Cognac)
I used VHT BURNT COPPER SP402 with 3 to 4 clear coats of any kind of clear, on top of the BURNT COPPER SP402.

Prime your dash board first with primer( paint for plastic color red if you can find it)

then, use VHT BURNT COPPER SP 402( this is an exact color match) let this dry completely hard.

Then put on a clear coat( of any kind) 3 to 4 coats............. let dry between each coat.
The painted dashboard brings the dashboard to life as you see in the pictures( my album)

I'm sorry, you're right about this calling for a photo, I was out riding and away from my computer until now, the weather is great here. Judge the color match for yourselves...
