Touch Up Paint for RT

[2manycars]

I have a long scratch on the left side of my orbital ble RT, and am trying to find touch up paint.

THe dealer told me the paint is BASF code number A62277, I saw somewhere else that the paint code was 862277.

The dealer also told me that BRP does not sell touch up paint and they have no idea how to get any short of having a body shop repaint the entire panel (it is on the left truck cover). I suppose I could order a new truck cover, but I imagine the cost is prohibitive.

Any ideas?

Sounds like someone needs a hearing aid. Wish I could help, but I don't know. I have a liddle biddy scratch on my glove box. I was wondering the same.

They make motorcycle paint. I do not se the blue on there. I just e-mailed them about it....

I have a few stone chips out of the nose of my Silver RT. I also would like to find touchup for it. Pass on any info.

Just BEWARE! When you find that paint it's going to be expensive. I think one pint for the GL1800 costs like $200.00 bucks.

I did a google search "paint code 862277" and a bunch of stuff came up, so it looks like the "8" rather than the "A" is the way to go. do the same search and maybe you will find your answer. there has been alot discussed several years ago. but your particular color is new

If it were me I would go to a body /paint shop and get their feed back on your options.

good luck. I have just a few scuffs and nicks and wear them as a badge of honor :doorag: Heck I only polish her once a month now

I think it was keyed

I have been very careful where I park the RT and clean it regularly. I teach at a local community college and I have a strong suspicion of who did it but can not prove it.

The scratch seemed tom have occurred right after I told one of my young students that his vulgar language was not impressing any women in my class, and in fact told him if it happened again I would remove or have him removed from my class. He stormed out after mumbling something that sounded remarkably like a slang term for a sexual act

I may ask to have security review the cameras near where I park on the day it may have occurred

Now to find out BRP does not sell touch up paint makes the issue even worse.

Why on earth would a company make a vehicle and not sell paint to touch it up. Maybe they have it but it is on back order like most of their parts.

Thanks for letting me rant. I love my RT but want it to look perfect again.

Perhaps I can order a new left trunk door in blue. Of course with my luck it will come unpainted

I have had color matched at an auto paint store. They use a spectrophotometer to match the color then they mix it on site.

A spectrophotometer consists of two instruments, namely a spectrometer for producing light of any selected color (wavelength), and a photometer for measuring the intensity of light. The instruments are arranged so that liquid in a cuvette can be placed between the spectrometer beam and the photometer. The amount of light passing through the tube is measured by the photometer. The photometer delivers a voltage signal to a display device, normally a galvanometer. The signal changes as the amount of light absorbed by the liquid changes.
If development of color is linked to the concentration of a substance in solution then that concentration can be measured by determining the extent of absorption of light at the appropriate wavelength. For example hemoglobin appears red because the hemoglobin absorbs blue and green light rays much more effectively than red. The degree of absorbance of blue or green light is proportional to the concentration of hemoglobin.
When monochromatic light (light of a specific wavelength) passes through a solution there is usually a quantitative relationship (Beer's law) between the solute concentration and the intensity of the transmitted light, that is,

OH WOW! This has something to do wit "BEER'S LAW". I:2thumbs: could get into this! :f_spider:
