con US

That's about right Skip. Red row boat would be about a day slower than a black jet. Imagine if they'd used a black row boat. He still be waiting.
 
WEBMASTER said "Shipping is where sellers struggle, especially if the products vary greatly in size and weight. For example, a container of leather treatment is different than the same-sized container of paint in some countries. For example, BMW Motorcycle Paint has historically not been allowed in the US (chemical hazard) so repairs must be done with alternatives."

BMW does not make paint. They probably have the repair colors (based on oem color code) made by BASF.
They use this process, that they can keep profits and availability in house.

If you went to a fiendly bodyshop or local car repair paint supply facility (wholesaler or jobber) you could ask them to access the color, providing you can give them the color code or year and color name. And they could mix you a quantity of color.

So if that wholesaler is a BASF distributer, you are getting the same paint and a little cheaper than "factory available"

You could also get the color from most paint manufacturors, Akzo Nobel Sikkens, PPG, Shirwin Williams, DuPont. If they have the color system on the computer for your brand of bike.
 



Ok I'm guilty as charged I think this is first time I've posted in the classified, not very experienced at it and didn't want to get things confused.

I've taken all of my "CON US only" off, don't mean to offend anybody.

Showing some respect, thanks for the rant
