I would like to get some blue paint to touch up some spots and color some stuff to match the go-kart. I called the dealer, but apparently, there is no manufacturer paint for these. My buggy is blue, and it appears to be a very similar blue to some of the other blue buggy pictures I've seen posted.

Below is a picture that shows the color of my buggy. Hopefully someone has already found a similar blue spray paint somewhere, and can point me to it. It doesn't need to be perfect, just somewhat close, and I'll be happy.

Thanks in advance.

Take a piece of the buggy to a paint store (Lowes or Home Depot may work as well) and have them do a computer color match.

I could take a piece in and get it color matched. I was hoping for a can of spray paint, so I wouldn't have to fuss with the air gun, thinner, etc., Just to paint a couple of scratches.

Eric, do you think the Blade Blue is similar to the blue on mine? Do you have spray paint, or cans of enamel?

Sad

I agree. It looks like a slightly darker shade of blue. I guess I'll go with color-matching then. I have gas tank off right now anyway to replace the vacuum petcock, so I can just take that in.

Thanks for the advice, guys!

My local auto paint store, and I think the napa stores can put the paint all mixed up after they match it in a rattle can so you can use it for touch up. Hope this helps.

Really? Cool That would be Sweet! I'll call the local Napa stores here and see if they can do that for me. That would be ideal. Thanks!
