Red Silver Paint Codes That work??

[Monstaman]

A mate of mine wants to do some touch-up on his 2000 MV750 Red/Silver but the paint codes are as rear and hard to find as chickens teeth!!

Has anyone hear got the lowdown on what works?

Paint codes I have are as follows,

RedPPG954642 SilverPPG954643

and
RED WVD7B SILVER WVD8B

None mean a bloody thing in New Zealand, any help would be great, thanks guys.

I believe MV uses a couple of paints only available in Europe (Palinal and Sebimol?) and their PPG codes are wacked too. I tried a bunch of different paint shops at one point when I was trying to do a Ducati like an MV Senna, and they all looked at me like I was on glue. I think you best bet is to take it to a good shop, have them mix up some color matched paint. Allegedly that produces results as good as the original these days (I think they electronically scan the paint to get a perfect match).

Thanks AppparitionAGO, funny my guts was telling me the same thing eh and you have just confirmed it, the paint codes are more secret than AREA51!

We get lots of paint from Asia and the #'s don't sync with North Am #'s. A good painter will match by eye with his chip book and mix the colour. Lots more places now "shoot" the chip and the computer tells what to mix.

Thanks J R A, we liv is a small town so big town goodies are limirted but I think des will send his stuf away to have it professionally matched and repainted.
