This!

Sherwyn Williams has a line of paint called Dimension.

A color matched quart for the Z-1R with the reducer, clear and hardener was around $100.

Very nice stuff for the money. BTW, after it was done, I found a guy in town with an original 5K mi. bike. (Sweet!!!) It does have more metal flake but the tint is very close.

Before we did the Kawi, we used this same paint on my 78 GS1000E. Hugger orange is one funky color.
