YDS7Paul Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi all I am nearing the end of my build and I need to get the paintwork re-sprayed. Took the parts to a local painter who upon checking said the paint was a "candy red" but possibly mixed with silver. This was a process done at the factory and would be difficult to reproduce. Does anyone have any ideas please. The bike is a 1981 xs250 uk spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE0 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Difficult to reproduce!?? Custom car painters have been doing this for years and can produce any colour with any effect!!..... but perhaps today they are a dying breed! Nonetheless surely you just need the paint code? and these paint shops can make it up? heres a website for yamaha paint codes and your model https://en.impex-jp.com/catalogs/moto/yamaha-2/xs250.html hope it helps...

YDS7Paul Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Neo thanks for the reply and the link. I will ask the chap who is painting it to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
