Competition Yellow Paint Code Cross Reference

#1 Post by b-bike393 » Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:51 pm

I've tried a number of paint suppliers in my area and not one of them can find anything in their books or information where they can mix the paint.
The correct paint code from Yamaha is CPY 0026.
Is there an updated code or paint information I can use?
I could just choose a yellow out of their books but I'm not sure it would be the correct yellow so I'm not really wanting to do that.
Suggestions of information is appreciated.

Or... Does anyone have any original yellow plastic parts that they can send my direction.
I can take that part into the paint shop and have then scan it into their system and get the correct shade of yellow.
Thanks.

If you find an answer to this please let me know! I had a paint swatch and used it to previously paint a KR RZ but has since lost that paint...Wil see if we can find it. The match was done off a museum bike that hadn't had sun fade.

I ended up getting a paint code by taking a small piece of original RZ350 yellow plastic into a paint shop and compared it with the yellows paint chips."
However, I have misplaced the paint code numbers.
I will be painting a 10' x 10" panel and then have a paint reader gun give the paint code I used with I painted my RZ this September.
