Hi guys , just bought a 1953 star twin in good condition, but noticed a few chips off both frame and tinware,  who or where do i get the best colour matched touch up paint from these days ?

Thanks in advance

Is that the bike in the Avatar? Are we talking the polychromatic green?

If so, by chance the tank on my A10 Bitza which was maroon over the top had some unfaded paint of that colour underneath. I had the guy at FD Motorcycles take a match of it before it went in for chroming and then repaint (still in maroon - sorry). If it's vaguely local or in any other way useful the link is:

Locally they are known as 'Filthy Dirty's', but he does some spectacularly good paint jobs there.
