Motorcycle and scooter paint code - Can or spray paint 

Our colorist carries out any color code for car and motorcycle paint in professional "solvent-based paint", with various formats from 250 ml to 1 Liter, and also in aerosol. Find below the paints classified by brand, as well as our primers and varnishes for fairings. For reasons of accuracy of the original shade, the realization of the formula is 250 ml minimum. For example: a Honda or Yamaha motorcycle color code can include in its formula doses of tints of 0.1 g / L, which gives only 0.025g per 250 ml Motorcycle color code paints are offered either pure (to be diluted) for large formats, or either PAE (ready to use), that is to say already diluted. Our two dedicated technicians have a very comprehensive database, listing the color formulas of manufacturers' brands created over the past 50 years. This knowledge base is updated via the Internet every day. It is thus completed and enriched with the new colors arriving on the market every year. Our paints are essentially “two-coat*” bases to be varnished, supplied pure with their thinner (in kit), or pre-diluted. The "bi-component gloss" versions are very rare in the world of "two wheels". Sometimes the paints are "three-layered", in this case it is our technician who confirms this and who explains to you the procedure to follow and the products to choose. We make and ship the color the same day you order for next day delivery to your doorstep! When a shade is unknown in the base or the reference exists but the formula is not given, we undertake to give an answer within 24 hours with our Colorimetry service.

How to find a Honda or Yamaha motorcycle paint color code ?

We just need the shade reference. In the case of a "two-wheeler", it is a series of numbers or letters, followed by a "color name", often in English, sometimes in Italian. Simply give it after ordering by email. it is only possible for our colorist to formulate the paint with these two pieces of information. The mention of the model or the year is unnecessary. If you don't have paint information, request it from your dealer or the brand's website, or consult specialized forums on the web. What does a Honda color code look like for example? Motorcycle color codes consist of one or two letters, followed by numbers: For any verification request, write to our technician: colorimetry@stardustcolors.com and receive a response the same day. When the formula is unknown, we can duplicate it in our color laboratory, from a part of the motorcycle or from a HONDA or YAMAHA color "patch". Our colorimetry lab is located in Italy, and includes 15 people who work daily to match and identify motorcycle paint formulas from around the world. The Urki Mix Pro database lists thousands of motorcycle color codes to date.

*bi-layer: It is a painting technique that includes two layers: single-component 1C paint and two-component 2C varnish Do not confuse "bi-layer" and 2C. “2 C” refers to two components (gloss lacquers and varnishes) "1 C" refers to a one-component paint (two-coat basecoat) A 1C paint cannot have excellent resistance. Only a paint with a two-component hardener can guarantee real solidity.

Exceptional tri-layer colors

Mainly using the “Candy” technique, tri-layer color codes bring some additional complications and expense, resulting in exceptional colors. These involve transparency to color the light: There is a third layer, which changes the classic two-layer system to three-layer: generally, it is the addition of a first background paint, either colored (opaque red) or clear (white), is metallic and reflective. On this, a second layer is applied, always transparent, colored and/or pearly, then of course the essential glossy and transparent finishing varnish.

American Motorcycle paint Color Codes

The United States of America has played an important role in the history of the motorcycle and especially in the creation of legendary brands which, more than a fashion, are real ways of life. Indian and Harley are the most famous brands in the USA, and American motorcycle paint color codes are quite well listed today in our databases.
Paint manufacturers can recreate colors and paints using these codes, without which re-tinting is often impossible.

European Motorcycle paint Color Codes

Clearly dominated by Italian manufacturers, motorcycle markets in Europe include well-known brands such as Ducati or Aprilia in Italy, or BMW in Germany, or Derbi in Spain. For each brand, there are precise European motorcycle paint color codes, which are sometimes a little difficult to know, because dealers have difficulty providing this type of information.
In particular, it is impossible to search for codes on our database by sorting by model, because a single paint reference can be used by several motorcycles, and over a period of more than ten years.
