BobZ Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hello all. I have been trying to get the paint codes for my Bird, which I bought from Furious (Jake) a couple months ago; I have not been able to reach him and I need to touch-up some chips here & there. Can anyone help? I searched online and it seems that the codes are different for the Red, White & Blue used depending on the year/model. Here is a pic if it helps: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a pic if it helps: I think it's going to cost a lot of money to paint the whole bike with black touch-up paint. I recommend that you take it to a pro and let them shoot the whole thing with a sprayer. A couple of wads of $100 and a week or so and everything will look like it should again... Ya, I know... I'm very helpful. It's a gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep searching. I know nothing about the Hummer - that pic was sent to me by Jake so it must be his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ok, I did not get the paint codes since the painter no longer has them; however, they appear to be the colors from the 2006 VFR Special Edition - anyone know where I can get the paint codes from based on that?

John01XX Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Should be able to get them from any Honda dealership They can be easily looked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I started looking but did not see Red, White & Blue for 2006...must be a different year (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Randy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think you may be looking for the 2007 year. Here is a link to Colorite http://www.colorrite.com/matrix-colors.cfm...FTOKEN=56968208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks...that is probably the place to buy it, and most likely less than a Honda dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANKSXXX Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Call one of the Paint Suppliers in your area that deals with body shops and see if they have those codes in their data base. My guess is that Colorite isn't giving any codes out to protect their overpriced product line but who knows. My local supplier said he had the paint mix for the paint code on my 97. If that doesn't work, I'd try a VFR forum and find a guy who owns an 07 with the tri-tone paint. The paint codes may be on his frame, just like they are on the Blackbirds. I'd also get in touch with a Honda Motorcycle dealer for some help. Maybe PM racer 212 as he's a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Here , http://www.colorrite.com/matrix-colors.cfm...FTOKEN=59632292 , pain codes ,etc . Paint codes mean in this case nothing . What you really need is paint mixing formulas for given paint manufacturer like PPG , Glasurit , Dupond ,etc . Little dirty secret is nobody bothers to develop those formulas for motorcycle specific paint ( potential market is just too small ) so unless the same color happens to be used in auto line , like with BMW or Honda sometimes , you are out of lack . Having said that I seriously doubt your bike was painted with material mixed by formulas . Colorite paint is just heinously expensive , my guess is paint was mixed by some experienced guy , he got it as close as possible to HRC paint samples or they just decided to go with colors they liked on certain cars . Next time I`m at my cousin`s shop I`ll run those paint codes on his paint computer ( glasurit ) but I seriously doubt it is going to yield any results .

BobZ Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks again all. I just need to touch up a few spots on the front fender with the Blue; I can probably get by with a generic tube of White & Red from Wal-mart for a couple other tiny places since those colors look pretty basic. But the Blue is one that I want as close to what is on it now. Happy Holidays everyone...Bob Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
