Paint Codes

[rickt]

Is there a resource where I can find the PPG paint code for a '78 GS750? I would like to repaint the bike in the Spring and prefer the orignal dark blue color.

Thanks,

Yes PPG!!
However I would get the paint code from Suzuki, it is listed in the first few frames of the parts fiche, then take Suzuki's code and year model to PPG.
BTW a trick to using PPG's program. DO NOT just punch in the code and hit enter!! You will get the wrong colour!!!
You need to start by going into motorcycle colours, then onto the brand of motorcycle, and finally the year, Then enter the paintcode, this way you will get the correct colour.

Eight years in Suzuki parts, working in panel etc with various spraypainters taught me this little trick.

Thanks and another question

Dink,

Thanks for the information. Can you point me towards the site where I can locate the Suzuki paint code?

Also, I have spend a fair amount of time on PPG's website, but I've never used any paint codes. Can you give me any guidance where on their website I want to be once I have the Suzuki code?

Thanks,
rickt

Alpha sports has the paint codes for all our bikes (listed as "COLOR CHART"), as well as part numbers.
