Hey John
I'm in the same boat. I want to respray mine (also red and black) before the summer. But like like you want to get the colours matched perfectly.
Who are you using when you finally get the paint sorted? I noticed your in the south west.
I'm just north of Bristol. You far away???
Cheers

im doing it myself as i have a small spray booth in my workshop ,its only 10'x6' but plenty big enough to do bodywork or frames .
i was looking at doing it in a 1 pack base with a 2 pack clear top , but im thinking that the 2k top coat had the metalic sparkel in it .
the red is the same as the red and white one so thats the code i need ,the black will not be hard to sort .

This was mine before I sold it a couple of years ago. The guy that picked it up from me completed the restoration and did an excellent job on having the paint matched.
Maybe PM him for some paint info as I don't see him on here that often.

Take a look at this site /give the guy a ring he has all the colours you need ,he is very knowledgeable,knew the colours by year etc.for my import RZV eg.early ones were chappy red later ones/ uk versions stormy red (they need special groundcoat too).
He is able to supply in solvent basecoats too rather than waterbased so fitting transfers under laquer is not a problem.(waterbased will wash off when you try to fit stripes etc with soapy water)Man I hate waterbase.

At the moment there is an agreement with the powers that be that solvent based paint for motorcycles is allowed because of small amount used/needed and also the difficulties in applying said transfers over waterbased basecoats.
A paint supplier is now breaking the law if he sells any solvent based paint exc.high solids laquer and primers if it is to be used on a car.mind you it is not illegal to sell it in rattle cans,so thats 100 rattle cans of transit diamond white please guvnor
He might guess if you ask for 2.5 ltr yamaha red basecoat that you may be painting your car
Aaah bring back some good old cellulose
