So, I'm an idiot and tried walking my bike across some ice and had to set it down roughly, which busted up the plastic tank cover a bit around the bolt hole. Luckily, it didn't hurt anything other than the rear brake lever, which I think I can straighten out, only my pride. I think I can pull off the plastic cover and glass / epoxy it back, but I'll need to fill in the crack lines so I'm not constantly reminded of being a moron.
That said, does anyone have an idea of where I can find a small amount of the Matte Grey Metallic paint used on the 2013 FZ8? Looking online, I think the color I need is Matte Gray Metallic #3 YAM007, but all I can find it aftermarket, not Yamaha specific, and starting around $50. I need like 4 sprays of paint (which I know I can't buy), but a smaller amount I can put in my spray gun or even a tiny spray can would be perfect. The closest dealer wants even more because they don't sell small amounts like car touch up paint, only quarts.
Figured I'd ask here if anyone has used another brand, or has a website they like for finding cross referenced paint. If I get an off-brand, I'll just respray the entire cover.
Thanks guys! (grumble grumble stupid winter)
