Is there touch up paint available in Nuclear Blue? If not, what are my other options.

Thanx

Not sure. It is a powder coat finish as supplied on the frame and wheels. The OEM powder coat supplier is www.classiccoatings.com.

A quick google of the BadWeB for "paint code nuke blue" turned up the following...

You might ask Wyckedflesh if he was ever able to obtain a matching paint code.

Good luck and please let us know if you find a paint code to match the nuke blue. : )

Although there is touch up paint on Ebay, I've yet to see Nuclear Blue offered.

What's offered on Ebay is a 3 stage paint kit. It sounds like the "tri-coat" process that was described in by Motor Cycle Paint Supply used to recreate the color.

There is a factory 3-part touch up kit available through your local Buell dealer or board sponsor. That also applies to the other frame colors as well, but they are 2-part.

There is a three part touch up kit available from Buell. I know because I have one.

It consists of Nuclear Blue Base Coat, Nuclear Blue Top Coat and Clear.

Part #96014-98YYP

I bought mine from Al at American Sport Bike.

Timbo, do you still have that nuc-blue S1?
That was my favorite lightning!
I ran across one here in Lake City for sale a few years back but didn't have the funds at the time.
