Where to get paint for a 1982 GS1100E Gold?

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

Hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am building a 1982 GS1100E with the gold metallic paint. I wonder if anyone knows of a supplier for the OEM paint. They offered the bike in red or gold and I have no idea what paint code it is. The sticker on the steering head is washed out. The local paint shop has a machine that supposedly will be able to shine on the existing paint and come up with something close? I would rather have the real thing? Thanks in advance.

Suzuki stopped selling/stocking paint for GS's years ago. And there are no matching mix formula codes for any of the current paint systems available. Your best bet is to go see the paint shop and have them scan the color and then color match it for you.

Suzuki called that color champagne, not that that will help any. Just say'in.

I had a champagne 82. Never could figure out how to see any gold color on it.
