#193825 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Paint Color Question 3 Years ago   Does anyone know if the white paint on my 2004 (technically called 'Yamaha bluish white cocktail' ) is the same white that's used in the Roadies with the tuxedo (black & white) paint scheme?

Yamaha uses the same Japanese brand paint as Nissan and Toyota, so if going to the paint store ask to see color chips for the same year cars and you should be able to find a match. Also might want to check with Looney as he has a lot of the factory colors already cross-referenced with PPG color codes. He hooked me up with the ones for my 2000 MM Edition.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #193831 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Paint Color Question 3 Years ago   Thanks for the quick feedback dollarmtn & MrFurious...I found the answer on the Color Rite site (I've purchased a little touch up bottle from them). Seems that tuxedo bike is a 2005, and it's the same "bluish white cocktail/Pearl White". And it was used for the 2006 white bikes as well... The 2000 Millennium white is different, though...called "New Pearl White"...the "new" version came 4 years before the...new version.

I can get a quart of PPG for less than 1/2 that, and I know the quality of PPG paint. And yeah, the white used on the 2000 Millennium editions is totally different than that used on the later bikes. The 2000 has more of a creamy-tan/gold tint to the pearl coat, whereas the later white was like a pure Arctic white.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #193848 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Paint Color Question 3 Years ago   Just go and pick up some red, they you don't need to worry about matching up the white.
