good luck with that....i couldnt find one for the yellow to save my life...make friends with a painter at a body shop and have it scanned....then be realy nice to said painter until they can get the color right..took about 3 times for me to get close to the original color...u might get lucky and someone here has already done that and can give u a code.

well there won't be a paint code cause there is no paint.

The wheels are powder coated and the body is molded in color.

I can give you the old Sunset Orange paint code from the tube frame days but the color hue is way off..

Good luck with matching it. I had a Local PPG shop scan my 03 Blast so I could paint the fairing to match. The color match was great until I shot on the clear coat. So do some testing before you paint the final product. Good luck Brad

yep test a few times in different light if u want it to match well...first time my undertail looked great..then went outside and it looked like dookey...second time it was just the opposite...third time was a charm scanning will get u close but ur gonna have to tweak it...make friends with a painter or go a different color..harley has an orange with a code or maybe hugger orange . there has to be someone here that has painted the orange and has a good code.

Thanks for all the info. I was planning on ditching all of the plastic for black and just having the wheels and a couple of smaller items be Sunset, but if it aint gonna match right then screw it. I'll just change the plastic.

powder coaters are pretty good at matching colors...try ur local powder coater if ur doing ur wheels ...it was like 90 a wheel for me and looked great and lasts longer than paint.
