I dont believe Kawasaki actualy publish color codes...... feel free to shoot me down if I am wrong but I have in the past attempted to get touch up paints and have been told to go see a painter with skills that can color match.

Could be an actual match up job mate, KHI really don't like releasing their colours.

Got no clear on it so wait until you get all your body parts and get the painter to match off one of the body parts.

Theres a good chance, if the new panels don't touch the originals, that a good paint shop will get you an almost perfect colour.

Don't paint parts in dribs and drabs matey :wink:

nah i was gunna paint sum of the original parts...but im gunna keep them for in case, and buy after market.

the cowl is fine, and the company (frozzie) can colour match the belly pan as long as i kno the colour..and now i do, it will be fine..

thanks guys...

ps. dont stress over it Nafz...sorted mate...for now...
