    What colour is it?

    Hello

    Does anybody out there know the correct colour description and code for my bike?.

    It is a metallic silver 1981 GS1000G with blue and gold tape set. Some idiot opened his car door on me and wrecked the front end, including my recently purchased never before used tank!.

    I am currently rebuilding, again!!, and I am trying to match up the paint colour for the tank and side covers.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    Bad news about your bike. At least you are OK and will be back on it soon.

    I too am looking for paint codes for my 1979 GS1000S and have found the Alpha-Sports site has some poor quality scanned images of paint guides. You may be able to read the scanned image of the color chart for your bike here.



    Hope this helps.

      Cycle color claims they can match what you have.

                When i got my bike in 91' it was in pretty poor shape. I rebuilt but had the bike painted white.

                I never had the original silver. i did, however, have some plastics that you could see the factory blue under the bad paint job.

                The blue must've come from an 81 750 (??). I tried buying oem plastics with the original paint so i could match the color but they don't come painted anymore. long story short... i don't have anything with the original color and i never saw it in person so i'm having a hard time picking the right silver.

                  i've tried two auto paint shops that are suppose to be pretty good but they haven't been able to help.

                  i've also bought replica decals from Vintage Decals. They're three strips with three different color blues.

                  i'll probably have to pick a color i like... not to nostalgic...
