I'm going to tuch up the silver on the t-arms and r-rods now i'm a
little confused on the codes listed here in the tech section, there's a code at the top then at the bottom, witch one do i want,and what do i do just take that number in to say my NAPA and they can mix it from just that???
 

Color Rite

When I bent my left trailing arm a couple of months ago, my dealer told me about this place Color Rite (this page is for a 2003 viper but you can input your make and model for exact info). It's the company that supplies the paint for Yamaha and has codes for many models. I found it to be a little on the expensive side. So, I used Rust-Oleum metallic paint. Silver metallic #7271 at $5.19 per 11oz. aerosol can (only used about half the can). Color matches VERY close as no one could tell after the repair. -Ed

thanks ED,

Yea i know of that colorrite place a little $$ thats for sure, now this
aerosol can Silver metallic where did you get yours from?
 
hey daman I am looking into the same thing. I haven't had any luck yet. My sled is fixed after the tree incident, lol but it left the arms with alittle less paint.. they needed touch up anyway... where you looking to take the whole front end off and repaint everything or are you going to just touch up with it all together??
 
Ok i'll take that P/N in and check it out thanks ED!!!

Max,

I planed on taking the front off yes i got to change a r-rod anyway, can do a better job too without worrying about over spray,i don't have alot to do
just some tuch up basically...glad you got 'er back together..LOL.

i would still like to know about them paint codes if somone would like to
explaine that...
 
I thought of doing what you all were talking of, but had my whole front suspension powdercoated instead.It looks awsome and is much more durable than paint.The color is very similar to the yamaha silver, just with a little more metallic.If anybody ever has this done just make sure they plug all holes, it would be a nightmare if you did'nt.All mine were and it was still a little tricky dealing with as this coating makes everything a little thicker.It only cost me 12 bucks to have a place in Traverse city do it, Wheelock and sons welding the place is called.Just something to think about when you consider what your gonna pay for touch up paint.
 
It would be nice but i don't have anybody around here that can do that,
and i'm not going to drive hours to have it done.....
