My '06 GSF1200S is "Bandit Red". Colour code "YHL". Does anyone know an auto red that is very close to this. I have tried everywhere to get a match. I would like to get a spray can of it to respray the grab rail. Cheers.

I doubt whether you’ll get a spray can to match (exactly) but what would this colour blind bloke know Laughing
Do you know any good body shops?

I can get a mixed colour spray can from Autobarn. But they dont have the codes in their books for bikes. I'm not too worried if it is not exact. Think I will try and pick a car colour that is closest.

Take a body panel and/or the grab rails into any good auto paint supplier and they should be able to match your colour in a pressure pack. Might take a few days.

Well some good news. Found an Auto Paint Supply shop that has the right codes and can mix a spray can for $35. My Partners bringing it home today. Yippee.
