GZ 2000 Color

Hey fellas. I recently got myself a GZ 2000, red in color, but there are some scratches I want to take care of. My bike didnt come with a manual and I'm not sure what specific color paint to get to cover it up. Any ideas on what color it is and any suggestions to covering up scratches? This is my first bike, so this will also be my first time attempting to fix the scratches. Any suggestions or tips would be great. Thanks!

Re: GZ 2000 Color

Dunno if they work, but I've seen advertised, some "magic" pens, that you supposedly draw along the scratch marks, which then disappear. Don't know what's in them. Anybody tried 'em?

Have you tried to buff them out? Gone to a dealer a asked if they have touch-up paint? Try Duplicolor, sometimes they have accurate matches.

Re: GZ 2000 Color

Thanks guys, Colorrite is awesome, matched up the color quick and easy. Once I get the touch-up paint, I'll let all you know how it went and give any advice/problems I had fixing it up.

Thanks again for the help

PLUS ONE..... I have used colorrite many times with good results. My tip is to a paper match instead of the brush. Less paint is more. Do a few small coats instead of one heavy one.... Good Luck
