TheBigG Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I want to paint some parts of the motorcycle in the same white colour as the side panels. The colour code is: Bluish white pearl 1 (BWP1 3642) I was in contact with a big paint shop which helped me before with the bluish gray but they don't have de recipe for the white one. For me it looks like a metalic paint but the name sugest a pearl paint... Do you have it? Or do you know how can I get it?

Supporting Member betoney Posted July 4, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted July 4, 2020 Have you brought the white panel to a paint shop? A lot of them have a photo scanner (I don't know the exact name) to 'read' the color and the computer can formulate a match. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are located 5 hours from me and I don't know others wit a spectrophotometer closer to me 😕 I can send them the side panel but I will be stranded a week or two. This is the plan B for after the season ends... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted July 4, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted July 4, 2020 @TheBigG You might be able to buy the paint already mixed from www.colorrite.com. you might have to figure what other Yamaha's used that color white as the main color. He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd totally go for painting my gray Tracer in that too; it's wonderful. You don't see the pearl much when it's just the side panels here, but when it's the main color over the tank and all it's much more apparent.

I saw an MT07 in white and really liked it. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never managed to really capture the pearl in the paint in photos, but when clean and waxed in the sun it's really nice looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
