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. |
