    Paint color on my 1980 GS850G.

    Hope to find the answer I've been searching for in the archives. What is a good paint match for the engine on my 1980 GS850G. Any brand suggestions would be great. Thanks!

    Stock body colors were either Black or Maroon according to the parts fiche (https://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_part...q=suzuki-parts) but how about posting up a picture of your bike to give us a better idea of the starting point. In all reality though, it does come back to what you personally want.

      I meant to say the silver gray color of the engine case. That's the color I'm looking to match not the body color.

        I believe the choice of many members here is the VHT brand SP127 universal aluminum.
