Stardust, is a French company that manufactures or distributes all types of bodywork paints and in particular paints in original colors, prepared on request, for touch-ups and repairs corresponding to car or motorcycle color codes.

The preparation of these colors is a precision work, carried out by a colorist, who will make mixtures to the nearest hundredth of a gram, using a hundred pigment concentrates, contained in his computer colorimetry system. The recipes cover all of the thousands of references from 1950 to the present day.

Paints with car or motorcycle color code

The paint is prepared in an acrylic water-based version or in a solvent-based version, then it is delivered, either as a spray or in a box, for a product to be applied by spray gun. There are two types of product :
the two-coat type, also called a matt varnish base, reserved for modern, pearly or metallic shades.
The gloss finish lacquer type with hardener, only for colors particle-free

The colorist prepares the paint using a car / motorcycle color code, or a color name, from the vehicle manufacturer (specific paint brand references are not allowed !), information without which it is difficult to search through a directory comprising several hundred color codes per brand.

Do you want to know where to find the color references for your vehicle ? Be aware that the car paint color code, or color name, is always found somewhere on the body or chassis, usually inside doors, under the hood, sometimes in the trunk.



Motorcycle paint color code

Much more problematic on the side of bikers, the search for the references of the original colors will sometimes be an obstacle course ; indeed, the motorcycle paint color code is never indicated on the frame or the fairing, and when you ask your dealer, he does not have the information, or often shows bad will. There are only specialized discussion forums left to dig up the famous code.
