My Paint Code
« on: January 09, 2014, 20:43:55 »
What is my paint code, where would I find it?

http://www.colorrite.com/wizardresults.cfm says it is YC2    Candy Grand Blue but it doesn't look like it to me.

2005 Wee



I've got some panniers coming and might have a go at spray painting like this:

It's hard to tell from a computer image of a swatch. That's correct though. My first Strom was a blue 2005. http://www.vstrom.info/Smf/index.php/topic,4772.0.html shows YC2 is the correct code. Your bike has a black frame so it is not a 2004 which would be the only other year with a blue that is even close. The parts list shows YC2 as the color for the blue 2005 bike.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

Thanks a lot. Now I just need to find somewhere that sells it or will spray the inserts for me at a good price.
