I need the final word on the actual paint codes for the 2003 Gunmetal Pearl color. I'm about to have a fairing painted to install on my RK, and need to give my painter the correct paint codes. THERE ARE MANY CODES that I've found in my research - so many that there is conflicting information. Has anyone found and used the correct codes, with a correct end-result?
Here is what I've found so far:

2003 Gunmetal Pearl (not "Gunmetal Gray") -- The paint is more blue than gray
Paint

• 98601BDT
• 98603BDT
• 98609BDT
• 9806BDT
• 902651-Gunmetal (<--PPG Code?)

Hardener

• 99825-02

Clear Coat

• 98609EK

Any help with this is much appreciated! Thank you!

Did you ever figure this out?

 

Yeah I did - there is no "Gunmetal Gray" in the 2003 paint lineup. Even if something says Gunmetal Gray for 2003, it's actually the Gunmetal Pearl (blue-ish). I will look at the can of leftover paint when I get home this evening and will post the paint code. The fairing came out to be an exact match, all the way down to the light metallic embedded in it.

 

Dude that would help me so much. Nobody around can find this paint. Where'd you end up buying it from.

 

OK I found the code that was given to the paint supplier:

PPG #902651-Gunmetal

This is all they needed to create the paint. I can't remember where my painter had it mixed...but I remember him saying he gets all his paint from a local auto paint supplier (in Vancouver, WA). I'll see if I can get a hold of him and find out.

 

What was the paint product manufacture name- - PPG, Ditzler or what?

 

Any good body shop can match this paint providing you have a piece of something already painted this color.

 

PPG #902651-Gunmetal Pretty certain the beginning of the paint codes tells you its a ppg product.

 

What the PPG or the first part of the numbers (902 ect)?
