    Paint Codes

    Hi Guys I'm begining the process of building a GS1000s replica and wondered if anyone knew the paint codes for the blue and white colour scheme used back in the day. Thanks

    There are numerous threads in the archives on this topic. The Search feature will turn up the answer. Got you started with this... http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=168728

    Try using the Advanced Search, and then click Titles Only and search on key words like "code", "paint", "GS1000S", "Cooley", etc. The answer is there.

            My specialty is BEATing people up that don't use the Search Feature.

              Sad part was I would have said something earlier than Ed this morning but didn't want to appear rude. Plus I knew that Ed wanted to have some fun.

              But still, isn't there some way we can have a sticky on every forum that says SEARCH! or something?

                the search feature is the first thing i go to..at least if i dont find it there i dont feel so bad about posting what otheres deem an OBVIOUS thread..kinda reminds me of that old saturday night live skid..Nick Burns..you office IT guy bit!!! I am gonna need all this S info in the near future too...already planning on a full on repainting of the frame and body work on the one i just bought..that is if the frame needs it. He said the tank has a dent, so that will need fixed and at that point may as well referesh the entire paint job so it all matches.
