Paint Codes

Hey does anyone know where i might find the paint codes for the 2011 GSX1250FA in dark blue??

does the blue have a more detailed name like the Metallic Oort Gray that my bike has
Candy Indy Blue for the 2009 GSF1250 has a code of YKZ

I dont think a single code will help you much even if you can find it.
Most paints these days are applied over or under a clear coat and depending on how the clear is applied will determine the final colour.
Your best option is to get a colour match through a good body shop. Make sure the colours are matched in full sunlight too.

And even then (as i found out )when you spray it on because its thin it comes out a " iffy" match.
Was the undercoat black ,white , grey to many unknowns .I paid someone to make up my "pink " Close in some light way off in others.
Be warned it is very easy to muck this up. Good luck.What you trying to paint PR.?

might be better to create a whole new unique colour or colour scheme and paint the whole bike

Over what base and under what clear brew?
Thats the question

Yes but the code will give the painter somewhere to start, and then he(or she) can fine tune it to suit the bike.

I still think the word Oort is funny

from wikipedia;
The Oort cloud ( /ˈɔrt/; alternatively the Öpik-Oort cloud IPA: [ˈøpik]) is a hypothesized spherical cloud of comets which may lie roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun.

fast like a comet ....... nooooo let's not start this again

My mother, approximately 29 years ago, said I oort not ride motorbicycles. Fortunately I ignored her. She says I oort to listen more

is the paint code not in the front of your service book otherwise it may be on a sticker on the underside of the tank.

Back when I worked in the trade we generally used to do 3 base coats and 3 clear coats at our shop.

Any painter worth their salt will be able to match it for you easily. A great deal of time is spent on colour matching at TAFE, well it was when I did my course anyway, heck they even checked all of us prior to starting using the Ishihara Test to make sure our colour vision was spot on!
