Replicating the exact Yamaha CS-80 paint color

Replicating the exact Yamaha CS-80 paint color

2012-08-30 by Mitchell Manger

Hi,

I am looking for someone who has experience with creating the exact same paint color as that on a YC-45D, sparkly metallic flecks and all. I need to repaint a part of my CS-80, but have not had success with the two auto paint shops that have attempted it at my request thus far. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mitchell

Good luck! I scratched the top of my last CS80 while bringing it home
when I bought it. It had the cover, but it wouldn't fit in the car with
it on :( When I sold it a couple of years later I spent a long time
mixing model paints to get it right. I was lucky that the scratch was
very small.
