Just a wild guess, try mixing red and blue.

Re: replacing pads w/ non-skid paint

I purchased a roll of 3m 2inch wide non skid tape at home depo and made my own non skid surface .I marked lines with a pencil 2 in wide across the foot wells and then a 3/4in space and another 2 in section cutting each to fit the graduating width, it looked great and works so good For about 10 dollars, be sure the surface is clean first, the tape comes in black and in white I used the black, did a gtx and had plenty left over if I need to replace one in the future.I continued that pattern all the way to the rear in the footwells and rounded the corners of the pieces with a pair of scissors, because they follow a pattern and graduate with the width of the foot wells they look like they were on it from the factory.

What type or band name of glue should I use to reattach a small corner of one of my pads?<br />Also a little of the paint has chiped away, about the size of a quarter,(97 Kawasaki 750 Zxi)where can i get a suitable match?<br /><br />Thanks

I tried every glue I could think of, all work for a while but eventually let go or on kaw the paint pulls off. On my sea doo I finally put the corners down with small stainless screws hasen't come loose yet.As for paint maybe the dealer or a paint supply house for auto refinishing supplies, I use their chip book to match up colors.but they ain't cheep.
