Default '61 paint codes
Does anyone have or know a source for the Hifi blue paint code used on '61 bikes?
Thanks

Thanks,
That may have saved me a ton of money. I don't suppose you have the code for the white half?

Is that the same colour used on my 1990 Evo by any chance?

Hi Dawg, I bought my bike new, so yes it is the 'Bright Candy Hi Fi Blue'. I was interested to see the name is similar to the one lilricky asked after. I painted my glass-fibre parts birch white in the style of earlier models (tourpak and batwing came off two different bikes).

Now I'm confused,
I called a local paint supply store(That mixes colors fo HD here in KC) and they looked up 16021. He said it comes up as a 1986 HD Candy Blue CC.
I'm guessing the CC stands for clear coat. He couldn't find a color for ppg 34471

Is the code for the 1990 Bright Candy HI-FI blue the same?
