Does anyone know the color and source for fork-lug touch-up paint for 2014 YZ250f?
I know this is a common color, shared with the YZ450F among others.
Zed.

I would go to a automotive paint supply store and have them match you up a rattle can for touch-up. Don't forget to bring your forks with you! Wink

That's a pretty solid suggestion.

Roost makes that dark color look bad fairly quickly.

Did some searching on line, found that Rust-oleum have a pretty good selection of bronze colors.
Went to Home Depot with cell phone in hand and tried to match some paints to the pictures in my phone.
I found one that I thought was close and sprayed the lugs last night. Turns out the match was pretty poor when comparing to the clamps and engine covers. I think for $6, I might buy another can but match the color with my triple clamps in the store.

Thanks, guys.
I'll post back some finished shots and color

I used a hi-temp Stove paint before in a charcoal grey for Suzuki frames and engine covers. It has a tad bit of sparkle in it. It might fool the eye just enough to look cool. Haha. Idk. Just a thought. It might have a slight brown tint, i don't remember. It could be another option though.
