1983 GS1100E Paint Code

[Guest]

Hello:

I am getting nowhere with search.

I have the standard Bright red 1100E.

DOes anyone know the paint code?

Sorry to be a pain, but the black, non-matching side cover is driving me bonkers!

You can find the color code by looking at the parts fiche from any of the online retaliers, but good luck finding anybody that can mix it.

You will probably have to take the other side cover to a paint shop with a scanner and have it matched.

Hi,

The paint codes are usually found on the fuel tank page of the parts fiche. Use this cross-reference if the original Suzuki paints are not available...

Paint Codes - Use this chart to cross-reference the Color-Rite color codes to Suzuki factory codes.

EDIT: Mt. Steve posted a picture of the "Color Chart" page in the parts fiche: http://www.alpha-sports.com/omlib/vi...100E,ES/08.gif

Thank you for your indulgence,

The chart shown in Steve's post can be found in the "Options" tab of the fishe.

Also, as Cliff references, the fuel tank and side covers typically reference the color code as a suffix on the part number.

Even if you have the code though, that doesn't assure you that a paint formula is available. Best to take a paint part sample to a paint store and have them match the color. No worry about the code then either.

Have any of you guys used Color-Rite for your paints? I see their ads in Motorcycle Classics.
