Paint codes

[a7avenger]

I'm looking to respray my M600 in std Ducati red, also the frame needs a bit of work too.
Does anyone know the paint codes for these?
The frame is the silver shade, fairly darkish rather than an Aluminium silver, a close approximation would do for that, even a rattle can off the shelf.

Cheers.

Is there any way of matching this code to an aerosol can?
I need to paint a seat unit.

Doh, found it it's very close to Fiat 268 (Giallo Bus) :chuckle:

In addition from http://www.motomate.net/parts/
Paint (touch-in): early belt-drive SS models - Ford Radiant red or Hycote Nissan red 526. Also, check the Ducati Frequently Asked Question. For colour code numbers check Color Rite. 748 yellow: Colorite 7560U. On the official Ducati website the colour is listed as PPG 473.201 (found under FAQ section. PPG is the US based manufacturer of the original paint), very close to Fiat 268 (Giallo Bus). From Lechler in Italy: red 906 Paso (1989): Rosso 65205 www.lechler.it

I just sent an email to Ducati to find out the paint codes for my '93 Monnie

The reply I got back was very confussing.. More like, "can you send us the details of your bike as we have no idea it exsists....." Thanks...
