    OK, I just tried a direct link to the color chart, too, and was also unsuccessfull.

    How about a screen shot?

      Thanks much Steve I see the black and silver combo listed, that has to be the one.

        Thanks to a few hints from previous posters in this thread, it wasn't all that hard to come up with.

        Visit any of the online vendors, open up the parts fiche pages, go to the year/model bike you are interested in, look at the "Fuel Tank" fiche to see what was available that year, then look on the "Color Chart" fiche to see all the codes, along with the colors.

        You might have to do a little digging to find out what the accent color is, but the combinations are listed at the bottom of that page, to make it a bit easier.

          So what do you do once you know the color code? Are there formula's available for modern basecoat to match these colors?

          To measure is to know.

            I told bill last night , once I had the color codes of the other manufacturer and my paint supplier could not do anything with it and still just mixed based on a painted side cover.

              When I have my 1000ST repainted I'll be most concerned with the blue and I'm going with Ford Grabber Blue and whatever white was used on Shelbys.
