I found, by accident, the paint code inside the upper right fairing. Label attached to fairing had the code. Note be careful removing the fairing the tabs are prone to breaking easily

There is also a website for colorite paints that has all the codes.  You simply put in the year, make and model of your bike and it will return the information.

I have just had my top box resprayed in the same colour. I gave the same code to the guy (it's only a small 2 man business) and he got the paint mixed by a small local supplier in 4 hours in Middlewich (Cheshire).


I am away from home at the moment but when I get back I will look at the jar (which I still have) and let you know the full code that is on the top.
So when is this “old enough to know better” supposed to kick in?

Does anyone know the paint code for the engine block of a 2014 Rtlc? I have picked up a stone chip and want to cover it before it gets worse.

Wow, looks good. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner as I only got back yesterday from nearly three weeks away for work. Funnily enough, I just went into the garage to take a photo of the paint and then I saw that you had managed it anyway.


Just for fun, what was the paint code you used?  Mine is C:62930 R:/F:636908

Well I don't have the code, since my paint shop manager found it for me. No problem mate !! Result is satisfying
