Ironically, I have taken a couple of panels to a mate of mine today for painting in this colour. He owns a bodyshop (funnily enough) & contacted his paint suppliers for a code, they didn't have it listed. He's contacted someone else & is awaiting a reply but I may well end up taking my tank to RS Paint (they're about 5 miles from me) for them to use to sort out a match.Anybody know the paint code for the Blazing orange? Did a search here, and found some chatter about it a while ago, but not the actual code.
Any help please
RS Motorbike Paint Colours - Motorcycle paint, bike paint, Kawasaki Honda Yamaha RS Paint have Deep ArmorThere is no code mate as far as I now had this trouble with deep armor . The dealers told me there was not a code for the colours .my mate had to match it and he tried 4 times before getting it right.
the scanner only works on flat surfaces and there ain't enough flat on the bike to get a reading iirc.Ironically, I have taken a couple of panels to a mate of mine today for painting in this colour.

I believe it involves them using some sort of special camera (for want of a better description) to determine what amounts of what coulours go into the mix to match the paint on the tank.
As far as I can work out (from a brief chat to my mate earlier) the different paint manufacturers use their own codes for their own formulas to mix up the colour, so the paint "code" will only work on the specific system used by the company who match the colour.
I'm pretty sure that Dream Machine have matched it but I understand they haven't/won't release the info. If they did, you would also need to know what system they use & find someone who uses the same system for the code to make sense!
I'll let you all know what I find out!!
Second time I have heard this.the scanner only works on flat surfaces and there ain't enough flat on the bike to get a reading iirc.
Pmsl. Very clever...! I like...[emoji12]I have deep armor but when I asked in Yamaha about color code they said: P41NTR-N19HTMR

Fastest color you say, so you reprinting your bike to deep armor? Good choice mate.I took my tank over to RS Paint today. They took one look at it & said that a spectrometer (the clever bit of kit that works out what colours are in the paint) wouldn't be able to read it due to the metallic. I had one option, to leave my tank with them for them to match it by eye. So that's where my tank is at the moment...
So.............. Soon they will be able to supply the fastest colour!
While they have that tank...get the ecu in the post lolI took my tank over to RS Paint today.
