#485585 Dysan911 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 337 True? Yamaha wont' release Paint codes??? 1 Year ago   So I'm trying to get a few rough estimates on getting my batwing painted and one place I stopped in told me that with all the Motorcycle manufactureres the Paint codes are like a guarded secret, that they won't release them. He said they've tried calling the dealer and even giving them a vin# but they still won't give up the code. If that's true how the heck am I going to get my Fairing painted. I think that's BS and I hope the guy is way wrong on this. My 2008 Roadie is a Dark Blue metallic. like this one: I'm hoping someone has some info on the paint codes or any other ideas I might try. They told me matching it was never going to come out right that the only way to make sure it was a 100% match was to get the paint and bring it to them.   Logged     2008 Roadstar Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #485593 TReynolds (User) If it isn't...It isn't Senior Boarder Posts: 315 Re:True?

My painter has never had a problem on finding or matching my paint.   Logged     2007 RoadStar XV1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #485598 Dysan911 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 337 Re:True?

They came prepainted and you cannot find one shade of difference in the factory and the Corbin. So somebody is turning loose of the codes.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #485604 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5347 Re:True?

The paint color(number) may be there somewhere in the VIN code.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #485607 Dysan911 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 337 Re:True? Yamaha wont' release Paint codes??? 1 Year ago   The chart below has a comment field. I wonder if the one marked Bluish Black#2 is for the wheel color? What does that mean? If Code 0996 is the one I need it requires a base #1254. A pint of each will run me over $250 bucks!. Seriously?

IF so I took a pic of it this morning and there is not reference to a paint code anywhere on it. Just GVW references, Cold Tire Pressure recommendations, Build date, Vin.   Logged     2008 Roadstar Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #485611 MaiRoadie (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 460 Re:True?

I just paid $50 for a rattle can because no one could be sure they could match my color on the first try on my 08 grey.   Logged     LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM   The administrator has disabled public write access.
