Where can I find paint codes?

[grandman]

Call Suzuki North American Headquarters at 714-572-1490. Tell them ALL the info on the bike.. Year, Model ( Complete with all the X, XS, ES, whatever), Original color ( If Known), VIN. They will give you the paint code and any other info they have on the bike. You can even ask them such things as when it was built, you can order copies of manuals FOR FREE while you have them on the horn, anything you can think to ask.. ask it.. they will have answers.

Just called for the paint code for my '83 and their records only go back to 1986. I asked about manuals and they said they have to be ordered via local dealer or online. None of the painted pieces on my bike are their original color, so am not able to take a piece in to get it matched.

Any colour, so long as its black?

Maybe we follow Bruces reco and do a lavender pin stripe

I don’t mind using the cheaper basecoat but I’m hesitant to use low rent primers and clears since that’s were the durability comes from.

Two brothers that I know and trust, who own a body shop. recommended using Transtar clears. they use Transtar over top of DBU on most every job.

I think you might do well with a omni/shopline base coat and a transtar clear.
