There is none. There are no painted bits. I went through the same thing trying to get Hero Blue paint for my goodies. Etennuly can fill you in with the details on how he yellowed out his bike. | ||

I saw a new Ford Mustang a few days ago that looked like a very close match... | ||

Taxi cab yellow.... A good painter should be able to nail it with some trial and error. Could start with the PPG code for the Mustang^^^ and eye it from there. Even computer matching takes a little personal touch to be right usually. And then we could have a code- PPG pigment weights for example. ColorRite doesn't even list Buell- nice. | ||

Automotive paint stores should be able to mix a match for you. A better bet for a good match is to go to a professional painter in a body shop who has access to a mixing machine. The problem with trying to do this now days is that most of the paints require three to five different chemical parts to make it work. So that complicates doing it at home, and makes a very expensive home paint job. I know there are companies out there that make spray can colors in acrylics but they require a minimum order that usually require outrageous quantities. You could try to google paint manufacturers. | ||

I was told by a guy who works at the harley shop (and has a barricade orange uly) that he took his seat off and put it next to the grabber orange mustang at the ford dealership and that it was a super close match. | ||

I know the code by heart. It's OR-IS-SLOW. Try black...  | ||

Whitj; you mis-read the code. It's OR-IS-SEXY.  | ||

I have a black '08 and am going orange. dottrz was kind enough to sell me an orange airbox that he had.  | ||

for what paint costs, plus labor.. it might be better to just buy the orange fly screen, unless you wanted to paint the lower and some other extra pieces too. | ||

My neighbor has an 08 Grabber Orange Shelby GT500. My Uly matches it almost exactly. we have our own little Orange American Muscle Army. | ||

The orange Mustangs with those silver stripes rock and look close. Those Toyota SUV-looking things in orange are really close too. School buses are close. Close is only close though anyway. After two years in a box I just put my stock orange/black '06 seat back on just for kicks, I was amazed at how faded my orange plastics have become compared with the seat. If you've got the orange airbox cover already I agree just buy a new flyscreen or check the BadWeB classifieds for someone who might have one. Depending on how orange you want to go (here's the plug) I do have a virtually new '06 Low seat in orange/black available. Ridden once for <30 miles. | ||

   in person it is even more amazing. these things are identical. | ||

I used Testors Grabber Orange (for Ford) spray paint from the local hobby shop to color match my top and side case panels to the orange bike. Worked fine, can't beat it for $10 for 2 cans required  Also topped it off with some high heat engine block clear coat I had in the garage, just for kicks... | ||

Ratbuell, I would love to see a pic of how it turned out. | ||
