Need Help with paint code
« on: September 20, 2012, 08:00:28 PM »
I'm thinking about painting my K1100RS after I replace the lower fairings with ones from a 89 K100RS to 1989 Pearl White. I like the color better than the red on my K11 now. If someone has a 89 K100RS would you look under your seat and give the the paint code for the pearl. Not the paint sceme but the paint code. I have what the dealer thinks it is but I want to be sure by having an owner check and tell me. They say it's 634.
TY in advance

Its actually a combo paint code - 650 - for Mother of Pearl white and (I think) Bermuda Blue - from 88/89 K100RS SE bikes.

The paint code really doesn't matter though.  Take a panel to a painter who uses the PPG paint matching computer (common) and they'll match it perfectly.

I don't have a panel. I have a red K100RS and want to paint it the pearl color of the K100RS except with out the blue. I need the color code not the paint scheme which is the 650 code. This is why I'm asking for someone with a 1989 K100Rs to look under there seat and tell me the paint code for the pearl not the paint scheme code. Thanks for the reply anyhow. The dealer thinks it's 634 but I want to check there theory out with proof from an owner.

The paint code is still is a mixed paint code. You're still chasing your tail.   I give up.  Good luck.
