Paint code 1986 GSXR750 jap import

[johnnyboy]

Hi all, any idea where I’ll find the paint codes?

Someone said these colours were used for UK 1100.

Assume I need the white and dark blue as the rest are decals. The white is Pearl.

Pretty sure someone posted these on Kevin Carpenters FB page

Chz, I’ve put a post in group “Restoration R” on Facebook and think it’s his page.

Hi, I was given the attached pic via Facebook but RS paints say the following -

-Marble soldier blue (pic powerful blue)

-Pearl still white (pic Pearl cool white) 

They say powerful blue is only used with non metallic whites.

The white names are also different. 

Any idea how I can confirm or I’m suggested to believe RS paints.

So this is the list of codes, which I think is from the microfiche, but how do I confirm  which are the correct ones…? Is there a map of chassis numbers to paint codes out there? 

Any ideas?

These are old codes, and bear no resemblance to the modern ones. All you can do, is find some original panels, and paint match them. Dream Machine will do a perfect job, but it won’t be cheap!

Hmm, I did think that was going to be the solution. 
I’ve used dream machine once before, never again, dicked me around like crazy.

Thanks Swiss, still loving the hair.

Thank you! Just been shorn. Drastically! But, as they say, ‘A bad haircut only lasts a week’!
