According to a websearch Kawasaki paint comes from here

http://www.colorrite.com/matrix-colors. ... N=14259465

Does it?

Bump!

Tried to find the paint codes for my F2 ZX9 but it didn't show the right colours...

I think perhaps cause its a USA site, they will list the US colours, although Orange was there for the crim and i dont think that is a USA colour. Blue is there though!

go to http://www.kawasaki.com look up the parts list for your year model and the last 3 digits should be your paint code,,,,,,,,example 2005 zx12r black code /660(code)ppg(make of paint)

Seiko, that's the site I got paint codes for my 9 from, that being said, I reckon "The Paint Mobile" in Preston can probably colour match or mix paint for you if you have the code, sort of assuming that would be cheaper than importing it but mihgt be way outta line too.

Not sure if there is any restriction with importing paint due to it's flammable nature, anyone know?

Yep Kazz enquired once and some people wont send it for that reason

i went into a paintshop once, nothing special, just some automotive paint shop to get paint matched for my zx2 and he pulled out a huge tome with everything in it and he found the colour of my imported zx2! and was a dead colour match!

I would assume from that, that its like car companies and most paint places would have the colours and colour codes on hand, then again its not like many bikes now days come out in 5 different shades of red or any closesly matching colour!

As another point - I was told by a bike smash repairer that the high amount of yellow in the kawasaki green made colour matching more difficult on older bikes as it fades a little more quickly. So, say a '98 green Kwaka will have faded so that if you painted a panel with the original '98 green, the difference would be visible.

heaps of different colours are like, infact if you have a colour which is faded from the sun it will be near impossible to colour match.

Reply I got from US....
I only have an American listing so I don’t know if they are the same or not. I can only ship paint to the US or Canada so if you are in Australia you will have to find a freight forwarder in the US that I can ship to and have them forward the package to you. Any other questions please reply. Thanks.

I just mixed up a couple of ltrs of green for mine & it was almost spot on off the machine.

Just my 2 cents....
