What paint and codes?

[Suzuki mad]

I have a red and white GS1000SN from 1979 that I am restoring.

The question is paint colour and codes.

I know that the red one is correct. Marble pure red 07P.

White is a little different.

Egeret white ***? (Fiche shows Eglet white 189)

Which one is right? Does anyone know?

That's Egret White, 189 (as in young eagle). Not sure if that's still available but 07P is still current (eg red bandit).

Worth checking out www.troli.no/suzuki2.htm as that will give you cross matches to Color-Rite.

If you need the graphics this guy is by far the cheapest and they're good: www.rsgraphics.co.uk (he doesn't advertise them anymore as he got into copyright trouble apparently but the last time I contacted him he said he'd do whatever I needed).

Wish I could work out what the hell my G is... I'll have a look at the reference you posted Wally, thanks!

how did you find out the factory name?

Of all the pointless things I can remember from when I was 18, that's one of them! Google it and it pops up all over the place - this interweb thingy is truly marvellous.

But I still can't remember the date of our wedding anniversary
