1982 and 1983 GS 1100E paint codes.

A quick question, in looking at the paint codes for the 1982 and 1983 GS1100E, it appears the red color is the same for both, "Candy Fancy Maroon". Is this correct or am I looking at it wrong?

Thanks.

I'm just getting ready to paint my 83 1100e (blue) and I got the code S-17 Stary blue....I was in Arizona last weekend and tried to get the paint code made...no go. I had to resort to looking at paint chips. It was a good thing that I had brought a side cover with me. Should be painting it in a few days.
Good luck...

'82 and '83 red are two very different colors (colours for you Canadians).

'82 and '83 red are two very different colors.

That was my understanding, also. When I read the codes, I was a bit confused.
