Title: Bandit Color Codes
Post by: RDUBandit on July 24, 2006, 07:45:39 PM

I did a search on this site and came up empty.  Sorry if I missed something.

Where can I find color codes for my bike ('04 B12S)?  I went to Colorrite.com, and it lists a silver and a blue -- there's no way my bike is blue.  It appears to be a dark green with a little metallic fleck in it.

'03 1200's  came in Metallic Surf Green & Silver.
'04 1200's came in Dark Grey & Blue.

(U.S. colors)

Sounds like none of them are your bike.   :?:

Got a better color pic of your bike?

Hmmmmm....

Could be the stock dark grey (charcoal) color... but in that pic it looks almost black.  Any chance the PO painted it, or did you buy it new?

A picture in the sun would probably help.

Any other '04 owners with the dark grey model on Bandit Alley to chime in here?

It's definitely not the 03 green like mine...

I'm almost positive that it's the 'barrel grey metallic'... shown here:

The 'swatches' on their website are way off color-wise.  Take a look at how they show the 03 green and compare it to the picture of mine and you'll see what I mean...

You're right Paul, that must be it.  And WOW, their swatch for your green is indeed WAY off! :shock:

The colour looks like the same as the 05 I used to own, it is definately "barrel grey" as listed in the dealer guide they use here in New Zealand.

Hope it helps.   :motorsmile:

That looks like a sea foam green. Talk about makes you want to puke. Mine, also, is the Blueish green color. Go to www.paintscratch.com they were the only place that was able to match up my Ram 1500 with the Go-Mango paint color. They also offer paints in spray cans or paint pens.
  Anyway, go to the site and give them a ring they may prove quite helpful.
