Title: 1991 Paint code question
Post by: 1tinindian on March 28, 2010, 10:33:21 AM
I have looked at the links for paint codes ,but the dull purplish blue color that's on my 91 is a color I can't seem to find.
I bought a replacement front fender and will need to repaint it and I want the OEM color on it.

If I can't get a code, I may have to have a jobber color match it for me, but I'm unsure if they can capture the true Yamaha color.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank,
Leon

UPDATE:

I had my local paint supplier mix the color for me.
I will post pictures when I get it painted.
If anyone is interested, I can share the paint formula.
It's mixed as a PPG DBC base coat.

Like I said, the dull purplish blue is not listed.
Try looking it up, it only shows the silky white.
Thanks,
Leon

I don't have a "code" but I did post the mixing formula in your thread.
Thanks for the heads up on the sticks!
