1989 approximate paint colors?

[MACHV]

Hi all.
I already searched this and am surprised I didn't find this specifically covered for my year and color. I am looking to replace my chin fairing this winter and am hoping to find rattle can paints, in Duplicolor or some other brand, that come close for all three colors on the bike (pearl, silver, red). I know the red and silver are decals down there. If there is a vendor that has those decals, wonderful. Otherwise, I am pretty handy with masking tape and a buffer. It seems the actual paint codes are way pricey.

Thanks

I copied this from an earlier post. Hope this helps.

  I did a little searching with the parts fiche on CD (from Gary) along with the Color-Rite web site, here's what I found;

        year - color name - yam. code on part #'s - Color Rite # COLOR-RITE YAMAHA code (top coat)

1984 Quartz Silver 1U (01U?) 5145L 1698-QS/1U Stormy Red AJ (0AJ?) 5005U top, 1500U base 1711-SMR/AJ

1985 Stormy Red AJ (0AJ?) 5005U top, 1500U base 1711-SMR/AJ Silky White GE (0GE) 5035U top, 1100U base 1611-SW/GE 

1986 Silky White GE (0GE) 5035U top, 1100U base Stormy Red AJ (0AJ?) 5005U top, 1500U base 1711-SMR/AJ

1987 Silky White GE (0GE?) 5035U top, 1100U base 1611-SW/GE Passion Red TF (1TF? or possibly 0TF?) *

1989 Silky White GE (0GE?) 5035U top, 1100U base 1611-SW/GE Marble Silver OL (0OL?) 5418U 1805-MAS/OL  (2nd color scheme) Shiny Black NA (0NA?) 5544UL 1786-SBL/NA 

1990 Shiny Black NA (0NA?) 5544UL 1786-SBL/NA Bluish Black Metallic MW (0MW?) 5600UL   (2nd color scheme) Silky White GE (0GE?) 5035U top, 1100U base 1611-SW/GE Light Grayish Blue Met. PO (0PO?) *** 

1991 Silky White GE (0GE?) 5035U top, 1100U base 1611-SW/GE Dull Purplish Blue Met. P1 (0P1?) *** "slight" possibilities, color codes are different; Deep Purplish Blue Met. 189/AEC 5422U Dark Purplish Blue Met. 564 5815U

1992 Marble Silver OL (0OL) 5418U 1805-MAS/OL 1993 Dark Violet Cocktail 1 P1 (0P1?) ***

   *** none found for any Yamaha, any year.

For all years, possibly the frame paint color; Silver 035 5616U

So, to answer your question, it looks as if Color Rite has not yet produced a batch of the 1990 Light Grayish Blue Metallic secondary color. They also seem to have missed the 1987 Passion Red, 1991 Dull Purplish Blue Metallic & 1993-1993 Dark Violet Cocktail 1, although I did see a few "slight" possibilities for the '92-93 color

[George Denison & Chris Vollmer] The Yamaha codes for my 86 are Stormy Red – PNT-84000-T0-AJ and Silky White – PNT-84000-K0-GE.

I repainted the front fender and tail with Dupli-color's Ford FM 306 Cardinal Red, and the scoops with Ford FM 229 Oxford White. They're close to the original Yamaha tri-coat paints, and most people wouldn't notice the difference unless you told them. Color-rite sells paint pens in the original Yamaha colours for minor scratches.
When I painted my FJ almost 3 years now(1996), I could not match the white, and ordered the Yamaha Base coat white, and the colour coat, Silky white. It was approx 40ea. per quart. Part # PNT-84000-K0-05 White Base coat PNT-84002-K0-GE Silky White Colour Coat

Thanks. I did run across this post but the prices are a bit steep. I guess I will try to track down the ford Oxford white and see if that is close to the 89 silky white. Was hoping there was something more difinitive that would pass for close enough.

Something you may want to try. If there are O'Rielly Auto Parts stores in your area. Some have paint departments that will mix paint to factory paint codes.
