Paging Beav or Owen.
|
A mate of mine is looking to paint his bike in the old style Yamaha
yellow with speed block design. Do you have any idea what the UK paint
code for the yellow used on the 2006 R1 Anniversary model is please. The
colour is called Reddish Yellow Cocktail 1 - color code 251 (USA).
|
I can't tell you right now Loz (no code books here) but I'll check tomorrow.
Having said that, I can't imagine the paint code you've got not being Ok,
because even if it's different number over here, a good paint supplier,
specifically of bike colours, would probably have the UK alternative number.
It WILL be the same colour though. Then there's always the swatch method,
which can be more accurate than the numbers method in some cases. (Not
engine cases though.:)
|
Would this paint code be the same for UK paint suppliers?
|
Difficult to say with any certainty, because most manufacturers of bike are
very un-forthcoming when questions are asked about paint codes. Kwaka being
the worst and Honda only supplying off the chassis/frame number. Honda can't
even tell you what colour a *sticker* with HONDA written on it will be, but
they will ONLY order them with a frame number.
I'll find out all you need to know on the morrow.
|
That's great. I can get the VIN of a yellow Anniversary R1 to match it
against if needed, a friend was bought one by her husband as a 40th
birthday pressie. I can always ask her.
|
Wonderful, thanks very much. I've just printed that lot off to hand to
the guy painting it.
You're a star
