I've got two 50th anniversary edition Raptors that need some touch up on the a-arms and am looking for a rattle can of off the shelf automotive paint that kind of matches. Ideas?
Two '06 700R SEs

Both with:                                          One also with:                   
GYT-R Sport front grab bar                   GYT-R Swingarm guard
GYT-R Engine/frame skid plate             GYT-R Nerf bars
GYT-R A-arm guards                           OMI Steering stem mount
GYT-R Aluminum radiator guard            ODI Lock-on grips

the arms are silver right? I need to do it too. Mine are worn to $Hit from riding through newly harvested corn fields :lol:

noticed some rust spots :(

DAL1679 Silver Metallic--Duplicolor Acrylic lacquer spray paint...Pick up from most any store...Almost a perfect match for the silver

Thanks to Bo (Velociraptor) for the find! I got it from a post on RF

Awesome! I was trying to find that old post but had been unsuccessful.

Sweet! Otherwise I was going to suggest..

I know our local Napa will paint match and put into a spray can for you for pretty cheap as well. :)

It cost me about 25 bucks to get a can of color match from NAPA before...The Duplicolor stuff is way less and is just as good

Is that the same silver on a silver framed Raptor ?

Yes, I have used this on my silver frame before and it blends in pretty good.

Dunno if it's an '06 anniversary edition thing or not but the Duplicolor silver is not a match for the frame - is very close to the A-arms though.

That's odd, it's a close match for my 08 SE frame. I can barely even see the spot where I sprayed it on.
