Trying to match paint

[John]

Hey I am going to begin the first of most likely many phases for my Banshee as I am tired of the way it looks and feels. I am going to probably strip off the plastics in the next month, but I am trying to locate the color that the new YFZ is painted. It's like a graphite grey, but it has a brilliance to it. I don't mind doing the paint work to the plastics at all, and have the time and resources to do it. Does anyone know of a way to get that color somehow on a index card to have matched or is it possible to buy like touchup paint for it. I am going with a full gray and black scheme so I am gonna powdercoat my YFZ front when I complete the parts list black and probably get black hipers or something with some holeshots and pipes from Toomey should be here tomorrow. Thanks for any help you guys give me.

If you can get a good high resoultion pic or have a sample of it, most any autobody shop can match it for you. I know NAPA matches paint here.

Yea I am trying to locate some touch up paint, but not having any success. I only have pics from a magazine. I wonder if I brought the paint place to the yamaha website and brought up the bike they could do it or not.

I don't know if this helps but I just got some touch up paint for my YFZ in an aerosol can from this place. It was $40 for a can. The paint is an exact match with the flakes and all. I was very impressed with the quality. If you look up the YFZ choose year 2005, its all the same after that.

im not sure about the plastic color.......

 

but the frame paint you can get at the dealership in a aerosal can,its made by PJ1 and its like 10.00 a can

i got some for my blaster a few years back and it was an exact match to the frame color.

The PJ1 paint will match the frames that are a flat gray. It will not not match the newer YFZ frames with metal flakes. I found color-rite from my dealer when I was looking for touch up paint.

Thanks but that isn't quite what I am looking for, I am looking for the color that the plastics are. It's like a graphite grey with some sort of pearl flake in it. It looks very nice. i am gonna paint my fenders over with it and clearcoat it. That other stuff doesn't help me. Thanks for the effort though I appreciate it. I had my hopes up for a second.
