Default Paint

Hello again folks,

As I have mentioned in previous posts I have a 1991 FM in "The United Colours Of Benetton".

Now the question is where would I find the paint codes for each colour on the bike. Pike, Black, Blue, Torquoise and Grey.

I have some small areas on the fairing that need touching up but can't seem to find any paint codes for the different colours.

HELP!!!

Pretty sure you won't find the oem versions off the shellf or online anywhere given
that colour combo was pretty much specific to the UK and some parts of Europe.

Also now the EU has mandated most "automotive" paints be water based which means
even if you did have the codes you'd most likely have to have them cross referenced
to the water based formulae for each given oem paint code.

Easiest way, take it to a professional resprayer and have them colour match it for you
if you are hell bent on keeping that specific combo !

Try RS Motorbike Paint Colours - Motorcycle paint, bike paint, Kawasaki Honda Yamaha
They list all the paint for your bike........I've used them recently for some paint on my 89 FK.....good service.
Hope this helps
