[ST] Dumped my ST, need a decal and some BRG

Roaring down a paved county road at only about sixty, the pavement ends,
without warning, no signs, nothing. I see this is happening and I apply the
brakes thinking I will brake as much as possible on the pavement, and then
hit the dirt with no brakes. Well it seemed like a good plan, and I did
slow down to about 20 MPH. However I still mananged a low speed dump of my
2001 BRG ST due to a sand pit. Oh, the mirror folded back, the shifter
bent, and the little ball on the end of the clutch lever broke off. More
expensively, I scraped the all three available fairing parts on the left
side. It looks like a bit of smoothing, painting and a new decal will do
the job.
I am sure I can?t be the first one to dump an ST. But I hope I am the last.
Anyway, is the BRG paint hard to match or can a high quality body shop do
it? Can you buy real Triumph paint? Is it worth it? Does it even match?
Where do I get the decals? Are they ungodly expensive? Are they placed
under a clear coat? It does not appear that they are.
Thank for your help
Ed
