Paint Codes

[B.C. Rider]

I have a 1989 XVZ13DW that is "Graceful Maroon". I am doing some fairing repairs cause the person I bought it from dropped it. I can only find one paint code for it but it is a two tone paint job. Does anyone have the codes for the light and dark Maroon as I would like to keep it the same colour. Thanks for the help I apologize if this is listed somewhere on the form I cant seem to find it.

The factory paint codes for the 1989 XVZ1300 in maroon are:

Primary: "Graceful Maroon"= 0R0

Secondary: "Miyabi Maroon"= 0JY

 

Primary is the Saddlebag Lid. Secondary is the Saddlebag bottom.

 

But, good luck finding any touch-up paint for the above codes. You certainly can try Color Rite, but they don't have all the Yamaha colors.

 

Edit: Color Rite does have listing for the Miyabi Maroon! http://www.colorrite.com/product/yamaha-00jy-miyabi-maroon-mym-1853.cfm

And here is their listing for the Graceful Maroon: http://www.colorrite.com/product/yamaha-00ro-graceful-maroon-grm-1825.cfm

Thank you for the codes. I have been talking with my painter and I think a colour change is going to happen.

Your paint supplier should have a color reader ( I don't know the REAL NAME) for this thing anymore. The jobber cleans a spot off and lays this gadget on the paint and it reads the color and comes up with a recipe to mix it in what ever type paint he sells.

 

If you're not changing colors you'll have to blend the spray paint over the repairs, using this "electric eye" will get you a more exact match than color numbers because of production variances, even new vehicles don't match what the color designers spec'd due to these variances.
