RT2 Paint was created by KennyV

I have question and need a little help from the paint experts. I'm preparing to do some painting on my RT2. For now I'm going to paint my spare tank, oil tank, head light bucket and fork ears. Just want to make sure, the silver on these parts same as the the fenders? Thanks Kenny

Thanks! I didn't think to look at paint codes.

In the General section on about page 5 or 6 you will find a topic on Yamaha Paint matches. It will give you what you need for the silver paint.

Paint color code may be the same (and I'm not 100% trusting that). Gas & oil tank, headlight bucket & ears should be shiny gloss, final coat cleared with today's technology. Fenders should be a matte finish. Ultimately it's to your interpretation, but if you're shooting for original, the fenders were NOT glossy. I've done them both ways, but matte is right.

I did the RT2 in the photo. I did the fenders myself rattle can matte/flat finish, but the tanks/bucket/ears are done up & cleared.
