Default Bike paint color

Hi!

I am planning on repainting the engine side covers and the swingarm. They gonna be powder coated but I don't know which color of powder to use. My biggest concern is the engine covers because they should really closely match the original color of the engine (silver?) .
Have anyone found the RAL code of the original paint?

Since they're plastic pieces you'll have to match your color to them, there's not going to be a paint code like on a car.

What do you mean by "they're plastic"? The engine covers and the swingarm are made of aluminium if I'm not mistaken.

They are not painted, they are aluminium. Once you paint them, they are really going to show every future imperfection.
