Not sure if they are codes or not

Kawasaki paint codes yes, as referenced by the Kaw part numbers on the LH column of your attachment.

Kawasaki paint codes that any supplier can whip up, not that I am aware off.

Are these numbers supported anymore, I don't think so.

The closest paint supplier that matches these old 70's and 80's colors are per the previous links in other threads related to this question.

www.colorrite.com/ These guys only go back to 1986 for some models only.

www.cyclecolor.com/ Cycle color caters more to our year of bikes and have been around for a long time.



I Hope this lends some clarification to this topic.

I needed to get some matching paint for a bike I was repairing a while ago and ended up at a paint specialist who ran it past a scanner of some sort then mixed a pint up to a perfect match.
It was on a BMW but was apparently a colour from a 2002 Chrysler of some sort.

I had some mixed up by a place that is usually really good but he said because it has a silver base under the colour it makes it very hard to match.

Yeah I can see that being a problem because those paints are translucent and probably wouldn't refract well

Here is another paint supplier (Located in the UK) for our older bikes. Has anyone used them?
