C,
Old chinese proverb "be careful what you wish for" LoL

what was the Red & the white you used it looks pretty close to stock?
I know very well what i wish my friend.
Yes the red-white. I trie to find out the yamaha codes and when i did, i couldn't find them in my local paintstore's catalogue. So what i did, was to find close to them colours by eye look. And i bilieve it's very-very close to stock if not the same

Colours, hardeners, clearers, all are Sikkens. Don't ask me details. My tinman gave them to me. I just did the paint.

C,
better ask your pal the codes for the colours as Sikkens is a UK company which means me & the UK crew can use them. Make a nice change to getting US codes which our paint guys scratch their head about canofworms

A guy in an other moto forum told me that the Yamaha colour codes for that model 3tj are: Silky White (SW) 00GE and Apple Red (ARE) 00H9. I coudn't found those codes or other similar on the Sikkens colour text. So i purchased from Sikkens a nice Kawasaki for white (KAW 4000 White) and a Yamaha red (YAM 9044 Red Met. 2c)

Hope it helps

However Goerge i forgot to tell you that i found the Silky White in the Sikkens colour list, but the colour was....a dark green (chaki) screwy . I don't know what's going on, but i was never going to painted my bike with this colour. It was dark green and beneath it wrote clearly "Silky White". All that on the Yamaha chapter for Sikkens colour list.
