Vee Grey/Black Colour Codes???
« on: January 02, 2014, 00:40:10 »
I recently bought a DL1000 GT K6 in black (all black panels and tank)
I Have seen on this forum and the internet that they also come in Black with Grey coloured panels on the headlight surround and the back panels were the DL1000 Decals are.
My bike is all black and I wanted to spray the same panels grey also. (I think it looks much better)
But I need a paint code or reference to go on,
Anyone any info ?
Thanks in advance

Taste is a funny thing, a searched out an all black model as I prefer it to the duo tone one, it was hard to find too! Have you looked at the price of new panels in silver and what yours are worth if you sell them?

I'm going to just get the panels sprayed as I can get them done at a low cost,
Just had a look at the link for the colour codes, and I'm going to go with the YHG Oort Gray Metallic. Thanks for the reply's  :)

Here's a bigger swatch for that colour.

Grey and lights always on....  like a bloody Volvo.

Each to their own I suppose.
