06R6 (Yellow) PPG Paint Code : Yamaha R6 : R6 Forum

Can anyone help me get the PPG Paint code for the yellow R1/R6?

The code off of colorrite.com was #251 Reddish Yellow Cocktail #1 Base 1205 Top 1554 but my paint guy doesn't have access to this brand.

Black code would be appreciated as well.

Any help for this n00b would be appreciated.

You aint gonna find a code for this paint, well you can get the stock paint code but pretty positive PPG aint gonna have a code for ya. You either have to match it from scratch like I did or buy some off ME or color-rite but my paint will match better than theirs.

Thanks Gator Man,

I called my local dealer and go the factory code... called the paint guy and he can mix up a batch of "reddish yellow cocktail #1"

I'll see how it turns out.... worst case... re spray.
