Paint Code Matches*
Last Update:  10/16/04

*  Many are searching for modern paint codes for their Triples.  Although original codes are referenced elsewhere on this site, they usually cannot be matched from the codes given.  Color-Rite (www.color-Rite.com) has the rights to the official Kawasaki color info, however, they don't go back as far as needed for Triples.  The best way I have found to match paint is thru the use of a spectrometer.  A quality automotive paint house should have one available.  It will be necessary to have a sample of the desired color to match.  Be aware that base coat color can make a difference in the shade of the final coat. The codes listed below are submitted from various sources and should be used at your own risk.  Please offer any additions to triple.dale@gmail.com .

A recommended source for paint is RS Bike Paint
