WTF! Paint colours!!!!! - Ktmtrumpshonda - 01-07-14
Why is it so hard to get to know the exact colour match for my bike? I know there are paint codes etc but different companies have conflicting information about which colour matches my bike. I have finally narrowed it down to two possibilities. Vivid red cocktail #1 or Vivid red cocktail #7. The bike is a 2001 fazer 1000. If someone were to ask me what colour it was my reply would be "it's red!"
Has anybody touched up or sprayed a similar bike and knows which exact colour it is. Pleeeeeeease!!!!

Mine is a red 2001 and I think it's "lava red"
Re: WTF! Paint colours!!!!! - Ktmtrumpshonda - 01-07-14
Lava Red!!! ....... Oh no!!! Not another type!!!
Damn!!!!
Mine's a sort of darker metallic red. All the other FZS's I've seen that are red are I think the same colour??
How many colours did they make then???
There's mine, blue, black and I think I've seen silver ones too.
Come on Paint Match Fairy..... Do your thing and wave the wand of knowledge in my direction.
