Hi,
This is all I got:
Paint Codes - Use this chart to cross-reference the Color-Rite color codes to Suzuki factory codes.

If you do a search, someone else recently achieved a perfect colour match (Wacky I think?) to the factory maroon shade.

That is real close, and I think I am going to go for it. I am going to see if I can get that code mixed up in automotive acrylic enamel, which is fast becoming extinct. Possible some DuPont lacquer if there is no enamel available any more.

Why? Those are inferior paints compared to catalyzed urethane.

Lots of reasons, the first being that Centari is one of the best paints on the planet, and even better when you add the polyurethane conversion material additive I always use with it. It is the standard the rest of the world attempts to imitate. And for the Lacquer, I love it especially when you spray a coat of clear Imron over it. Nothing inferior about either one of these routes. The gloss looks like it was dipped in liquid glass if it is sprayed by a pro.

All enamel is a little sticky when you spray it, and the Centari with the polyurethane conversion material in it is tough. The Imron was designed for airliners and 600+ MPH bugs and whatever debris the jets hit, so it is about the toughest finish in the industry, it is toxic as hell to breathe, so a respirator is a must. I will post some pics when I get around to painting it. I might wait for cool weather.
