I know an auto parts store can match it up for you. I know Robbins auto parts in Nh has a sled color book.

i cant find any for my sled and its cheaper to buy a can of spray paint and do it my self and i like making my own stuff than buying it, it just makes me feel better about what i have done.

and thanks for the compliment on the sled. you aren't talking about the sled i just posted are you? because thats not mine.

Can you borrow the screens from the sled that you posted?
Use them to get a color match.

Like RJ said, if you have a chip of the color you want, they can match it up for you.

Even go to a dealer and get a Ski Doo decal or sticker.
