Factory color (colour?) spray can

[Ecklund]

Where do you buy your factory color spray cans from?

I poked around the site a bit, not much there. Any definitive 'paint' threads?

I think I'm looking for 'Florida Blue' from the '81 1100e.

Suzuki dealer (I've been successful in avoiding dealers), auto parts, paint place, Internet? Dah Googles...?

Try finding where the automotive body shops get their paint from. There is a supplier near here and they can get any color custom made in a rattle can. It takes a week to get it. They have color matching guides, or you can bring in something to have matched

There's some pdfs here...look for paintcodes

I found a Florida Blue in them..
"Candy Florida Blue" code 05H
but he has it listed as for GS400 and GS 1000?

For a GSX 1100E there's a very similar "Marble LeMans Blue" code 08D

Any chance there's a paint-code on a tag under your seat?

Good info. Thanks.

I'll check for the code.

Yep, everything I see seems to confirm the marble lemans blue, 08D.

Guess I'll hit Napa or Advance Auto with this info and see what they can do in a spray can.

I'll take along a blue fender if they need to do a match.

Does anyone know if the color "Candy Florida Blue" (Paint code 05H) is also the color that goes on a 77/78 GS750? Heres a pic of the bike. I want to put the original color on the tank and tail piece. I know you cant see tank so well, but the tail pice is visible enough. I found this website that has paint and 05H is the only BLUE listed for the 77/78.
