4L0 Yamaha '81&'82 paint codes

#1 Post by LC Cnd » Wed May 03, 2017 6:10 pm

Today located a Marsbar front fender. Took it to an auto body shop to buff the fender area behind where the shock stands for a spectrograh reading. Result are:

Dupont Ful-thane single paint 770957 code which translates to a Mercedes 158 black. Interestingly the black has a pearl in it for the 1982 code.

PPG code does not exist for the Ful-thane # but I compared the same area with the paint swatches outside to the buffed area. The closest was a Super Nissan black KH3 if you decided on that paint.

Clean White is UA 93-96 Mazda Cameo white (1981 code) as previously threaded.

With reducer/harder/pint of paint PPG was $93.48. The Dupont was $99.02. Did well on the Dupont last time single stage Kenny Robert yellow and have the clear coat paint to use on the Marsbar decals next. Done.

Don't suppose you know the codes for the RZ white?

Or is it the same

Not sure Howard but the info from Silverstrom suggests it might be linked considering stormy red is included in the thread with the clean white:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14713" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The RD500 form may confirm the whites are one in the same.

The 500 forum is a great idea Id not considered that. Im sure those guys have been round the loop on those colours before as almost all the 500s are the same red/white colours.
