    09 varadero engine paint match/code?

    Hi
    Managed to spill liquid superglue which has run down the front sprocket cover of my 2009 varadero - anyone have a paint match for it?
    Thanks

    Why does it need painting? could you not use a thinners to remove the superglue??

    Ask your Mrs if you can have some nail varnish remover ( acetone). What ever you use, try it on a hidden area first to see if it does anything parculiar to the finish.

    Hope this is of help

    Will give this a try but I'm not hopeful - it's industrial superglue and I think it has eaten through the paint!

    That would have looked odd unless the whole engine was coated as well.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Never mind mate, done similar many yrs ago, was fitting Datatag senders to an @T and while putting one in the petrol tank dropped epoxy resin on the tank!
    At least it did come off with acetone! Better luck next time!
