I did a search on it and could not find what I am looking for. Is there a store that sells Yamaha Blue in a spray can? I would like to repaint the hood of my sled and I have used paint in a can before and it looked pretty decent after a wet sand and buffing. I'm sure a clear coat is pretty readily available...
 
Try Painter's Supply in GR. They can build aerosols, but PPG base/clear would be better. Spend a few extra bucks now and you'll be happier later.
 
theres a auto parts shop here in northern maine that does base clear in aerosols, check with an auto store.
 
a friend of mine just had some made ...he took my hood there and they cleaned and waxed it and put a gun to it and got the exact color match ...cost like 230 bucks a pint ....it has a ton of pearl in it so that is why it was so much ....ill get the exact recipe from him if you want ....
 
Thanks YamahaHead, but I am looking to do this hood for a little less than 230 bucks. I think I will try Painter's Supply over here and see what they can get me. I have done this type of stuff before but on an outboard engine cover and had good results and I am looking to do the same with the hood, just have some spider cracking and chips that I want to take care of.
 
very expensive stuff I see. The supplier from Canada(Quebec) sell a can of Yamaha Blue for some $38.00 plus hazard shipping fee of $15.00,then there is regular shipping and taxes. Bet you that one can would cost me some
$70.00 to my door. No thank -you.Better off taken a sample to a local paint supplier to mix and put in can.My old boss use to get that done,he didn't pay that much for it.
 
Yep the Canadian distributor for the Yamaha OEM paint ColorRite is http://www.dpars.com/.

No hazard shipping when I ordered two spray cans last year. Cost me 70.60$ to my door. Includes 6$ DHL shipping and one tax. Still not cheap.

Worth a look.
