Paint question

[fgsnyder]

I just purchased a used adventure tank for my GS. The tank was black and I want to paint it to match the bike. The color will be Graphitan. My question; where can I find the paint to match the BMW color? Thanks.

This site may not be up to date. I used it to help match a fairing on my 99 R1100R. It has most of the codes for older colors.

You don't need to buy the expensive BMW paint, just go to a paintshop and have them color match it. Most likely the new BMW paint wouldn't match anyway due to color fade from the sun. It would be best to pull the beak at the same time and paint both that way it matches perfect and you won't notice a small difference between it and the tail.

http://www.colorrite.com will sell you paint for BMW bikes in touch up tubes, cans, or precharged aerosol cans. NOT CHEAP but fast filling orders.
