Rim Striping question

I have a 07 R6S candy red and black, looking to stripe the wheel but am having a hard time finding the right color. Any ideas or anyone with the same color find anything good for it? Thanks a lot

thanks for the offer. What color red? The bike is candy red so not sure how just regular red would go with that.

Re: Rim Striping question

I have the same color and year and I ordered the red progrip rim tape from motomummy.com. It matches the bike almost perfect in the daytime, and at night it has a fluorescent brighter red when headlights hit it.

Re: Rim Striping question

Can you post a pic if possible? When I look at that tape I am guessing we aren't thinking of the same color red. That is way to bright to match. Mine is a dark red and black and if that tape like you say is a bright red it won't do.
