Paint codes and matching paint

[BJB]

A few days ago I stopped at a Yamaha dealer and was talking to a young salesman about Ventures, and repairing damages to the fairing etc. He said the paint codes (and maybe even the paint) were available from Yamaha and you should be able to paint and get a match.

 

Is this true? Can you actually match up to the original color or do you basically have to repaint the entire fairing if you have some damage from a drop etc? Has anyone tried this? I am looking at a bike that has some scratches and minor damage and would like to restore it to original condition. Thanks.

According to the parts guy I use at the Yamaha shop ,you can call Color-Rite with your bike info and they will have the correct paint and reducer to match. He say's Color-Rite paint is used at the facotry. The # is 1-800-358-1882. Hope this help's as I need to repair my front fender this winter.

Filed that # away. Hope they got some 85 stuff hid away somewhere.
