CBR650F Cheap Cbr650f 2016 seat cowl

Hi there. I've recieved my "red" seat cowl. I have to say that the quality is good and the assembling is easy if you are careful enough. It also fits nicely as the real one must do, but here comes the problem: it's not the same red as the 2017/18 model as you can see on the attached picture. I am thinking about paint it so I found a brand of spray paintings that claim to be the exactly colour but they cost like 60€ including the shipping. So I want to ask you if someone has found or used any painting easy to buy on a supermarket or so that match "as much as possible" to the original honda red millenium.

Thank you very much in advance!!

Actually the 2017 and 2018 red paints are not the same. 2017 is Millennium Red, 2018 is Candy Chromosphere Red.

I was coming to this thread to post a word of warning and then incidentally saw this post below:

I took the precaution of putting a piece of rubber on each side where it was touching the body of the bike (on the sides of the seat) and a bit of rubber where you press the seat into a kind of a clip.

I actually slightly damaged my bike with the seat cowl. Nothing too serious (or visible when the cowl is on the bike, but the cowl left some marks in the side panel plastic and the seat itself. See pictures for details.

No more Chinese knock off seat cowl for me.. Colour does not match, poor fitting with noticeable gap, made of "egg shell" like material and guess what.. it cracked upon delivery.. returned/refunded..

So I got myself an OE.. It is expensive, but I don't have to worry about all the above problem..
