    Paint codes

    Ive read the forums until blue in the face and I cannot find the info Im looking for. Does anyone know if the paint codes for the gs850L are located on the bike some place. Cycle color.com does not list my bike and they do not return my emails. So they are out. My 850 is an 82, the black and gray one. There was an 1100L that came in the same color. Any help on this would be much appreciated. If someone knows the paint codes that would be awesome and thanks.

    I'm interested as well. Mine's the same color and will be getting new paint this off-season.

      Have you searched for them? I know I have posted (possible a new thread) referencing the color conversion charts.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          I had a company in the UK respond to an email, they wanted a photo so I sent them one. Never heard back from them. Ive googled the hell out of it and everyone that supposedly has 10s of thousands of colors does not list a gs850gl in their model listing. The only color they come up with for a gs850 is some sort of red. Im at a loss here. I have a pro that will paint it if I can give him the paint codes. Its frustrating for sure. Love my bike by the way, she's awesome! I fear I may have to custom paint it and I do not want to have to do that. Thanks for your input everyone.

            Yes, I subscribed to that thread, but the current view of my Subscriptions is not helping me out...

              From Alpha Sports website, it looks like the color codes are 019 Space Black and 12R Tight Silver Metallic. Does anyone know this for sure?

                  Looks like you can put the information together here:

                  Buy parts at a low price for your snowmobile here at Alpha Sports, we carry a LARGE variety of parts and accesories.


                  EDIT- I don't know why, but I can't give you the link directly to the colour chart for the other bikes. You'll have to click on the links on the left hand side.

                        There is another one that codes the colors into a paint supplier color code. I searched and can't get anything to come up.
