colour matching - help needed

[Mike Sands]

Got a set of tins but I'm not sure whether they are mulberry or claret. There are some labels showing they were painted on 26 April 2007, and there is a fine metallic flake in the paint. I'm reasonably sure they were supplied fitted to a UK spec bike if that helps.
Thanks
Mike

I think you need to give more info to get a useful response....

photo?

Are they solid or do they have the white stripe with the gold pin stripe?
Some auto parts stores on this side of the pond can do a color match for you,
I assume you have the same on your side of the pond.

Don't think a photo would be any good. I believe mulberry and claret are quite close. Gapster - what more info might there be and where?

buy a quart of each or get it color matched at a parts house.
They'll do it for free over here and it's an exact match,
at least my Phantom Black was.
1 quart was about $89.00 I think.
But that was enough to paint everything and have some left over.

Hi XDHskip - that's not the issue though. I want to buy colour matched radiator panels so I need to know what colour the tins are. Triumph produced Mulberry for 2007 and Claret for 2008, but I'd like to know if t tins painted in April 2007 would be for a 2008 model bike. You'd think they'd have a customer support email - but they want you to do everything through the dealer.

Mebbe not but we could have a poll on which colour eh?)
