Meter Panel Replacement

[JPochron]

Has anyone replaced the Meter Panel and needed to paint it because it's the wrong color. Mine broke while removing it to put in new speakers and I purchased 1 off eBay but it was Brown and not Dark Gray. I purchased some Gray auto interior paint at Wal-Mart but it's much lighter than the original meter panel and would look different than the other pieces on the bike. I thought about painting them all the same color but it would be a great deal easier to find a color that more closely matches the original. If anyone has painted the plastic on your GL1500 what did you use and where did you get it?

Thanks

Joe

The grey color on the '95 Aspencade centershelter/dash/pockets is called Cosmopolitan Grey. The correct paint color code is listed as NH159L. You can sometimes get a "conversion chart" to translate that code to a "Color-rite" paint that will closely match.

It'll be almost impossible to get a "perfect match" due to sun-fade over the past 25 years, and cleaning supplies damage the color while washing these beasts, along with all the chemicals in polishes/and other stuff we use to "shine" em up.

You can still buy them new from Partzilla in the right color for about $84.00.

UPDATE: I see now where the Amazon.co.UK site says "no sellers are currently delivering this item to the United States". There might be some kind of "Customs" restriction or something.

Unfortunately it's no longer sold on Amazon and a search on Google yielded no results. I'll keep looking though

Try the following link to the Motor Company on Amazon. I have ordered repeatedly (3 times) the Atlantic Blue for my 94. It is a spray can that comes with a can of clear. You will have to put on a few layers until you are close then let it cure so as to compensate for the fading adding more as necessary. I've done my Rear Spoiler, lower fairing (driving light) and lower cover over the front of the muffler, no one's been able to tell.
