77 gs750

[bod]

Does anybody know the name of the blue the 77 bike came with? Have a set of decals on their way from reproduction decals - do these provide the colour code?

Or does anybody know the colour code, or how to obtain it?

Thanks, Dave.

my painter has it and i think he used PPG paints..may take me a few days but i can see if i can get it from him. Had mine done aq year ago so i know he has it somewhere.

Thanks Chuck, that would be great! Decals will take a few day to arrive from Canada anyway.

Take it easy, Dave.

The paint code for the body work "as I see it" is 03E "POTOMAC BLUE METALLIC".

(at least for this side of the pond)

Hi,

I concur with Dale. For the tank and other body parts, the "O3E" Suzuki code, called "Potomac Blue" corresponds to the Color-Rite code 4412L. According to the parts fiche, the color code for the tape set is "61P" and the entire part number is 61800-45810-61P. That tape set is a combination of 764 (Gold) and O3R (Cerulean Blue).

That chart on Alpha-sports.com is hard to read.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

So Cerulean blue is just the decal code, hence the (tape)?
The colour (sorry color) I'm after is Potomac blue!
Thanks for all your help - really appreciate it:clap:

Are you think of getting a tin of paint from colorrite (http://www.colorrite.com/), or having the colour scanned and mixed locally?

just wondering...

Will be mixed using a Sikkens paint scheme at the body shop! Shouldn't be a problem now I have a code.
Decal kit on it's way from Ontario!
