look on the technical posts... there is a stickie. Not sure if 05's are there or not.
You'll probably have to let the paint store scan the original parts with their color matching computer equipment. Even if you call Color-Rite and get the codes none of the automotive paint manufacturers are going to have formulas for jap bike colors. I've exhausted ALL of my automotive paint industry contacts and came up with absolutely nothing.
Unless you buy your paint from Color-Rite you're going to have to let the paint store match to a piece with the original color on it. Wish there was another way, but it seems like Color-Rite has sewn the factory match formula thing up...
The paint codes may be available but no mix formulas are going to be available through automotive paint retailers. The paint companies don't have mix formulas for jap bikes. It will still have to be custom matched by hand or computer...
I sent colorrite about $350 for two pints of paint that was supposed to be for my bike and it wasn't even close. They told me it wasn't applied right or something (it was) and basically go piss up a rope was my answer. Great company! Do yourself a favor and throw your money in the trash before you give it to those a-holes.
Not the first time I heard that...
well,colorrite is not a option for me,my painter(top shelf)
will not gaurantee someonelses paint,he did a couple of digatal scans,will have first test shot on monday,05 has a tiny bit of pearl,much less then 02,03
i thought making my 05 all black was going to be a peice of cake,but not so,but it will be worth the effort in the end

It would be if you weren't insisting on matching the factory color... Could have went with an available black that was similar and I doubt anyone in the world but you and your painter would know, or really care.
Oh... Makes sense now.
thanks...heres what i found,right side ya4 10/15 (7)or(T)?
not sure which,left side the same plus 10/16 (G) or (6)?
#4 i guess ya4 is the paint code for black 10/15 10/16 the build dates
bike was built in oct.0/4 not sure about the rest,maybe
g#4 is the gray paint code?
