Need colour codes for chinese Repsol fairing - help!

Post by mattvfr400 » Wed Jan 06, 2016 12:42 am

So I'm having my Tyga rear fairing sprayed to match my Repsol scheme however I don't know the colour codes for the orange and red, any help? I'd rather my sprayer didn't just eyeball it, I'd like it as close as possible!

As the Chinese fairings are produced by several different manufacturers I think theyd be unlikely to use exactly the same colours. Your best bet would be to take one of your panels to a paint supplier and get them to colour match it.

Appreciate the response. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that but I'll see what I can do. Cheers again.

The code for the chinese repsol orange is,

1 big cup of red, 1 big cup of yellow and a dash of white :grin:

I took a chinese seed panel to be colour matched for some paint and not one red in 3 colour books matched it.

I remember seeing on the Web somewhere the official Repsol colour codes (according to Repsol), but there is no guarantee that the supplier of your fairings used those exact colours anyway.
