If you found a can with that part number on it, Kevin, I can pretty much guarantee it'd be solid by now. :lol: :lol:
KraigG's new acquisition is the exact colour you want....right???
His Buffalo has been stored indoors so is not faded at all. Maybe you can persuade him to loan you a side cover so you can get it scanned at an automotive paint supply place for a very close matchup ???
Good luck with your search.

No Rick,
I did not find a dried up can with that paint code. I researched and found the code on the internet. And yes, KraigG's bike color caught my eye and started me on this venture.:^)

I also found that the color is no longer available, but figured it would not hurt to ask the board.

I would not ask Kraig to part with a sidecover, even for a short period. But if he can find the info out and pass it it on it would be appreciated. :wink:

If a search doesn't locate one, then Rick's suggestion of having a piece colour matched is really your least cost option. Tins of Suzuki paint are still out there - Reiner (no web site, but his email is GTReiner1@aol.com) has had the odd one listed for sale (he currently has some of the 291 semi-gloss black for example) and for whatever reason, this dealer in Finland whom I've dealt with previously, actually still have quite a lot of hard to find items in stock. :D They do have some paint, just not your colour unfortunately :? If anyone else out there is wanting some Candy Gypsy Red (99000-10209-712) then they have stock at Euro 28 a tin ! 8)

Good luck !

A few months ago, I found a guy on ebay, located in WV, who paints motorcycles stock colors. I had him do my '72 Honda CB750, and it was a better than factory job. He even added the factory stripes, and cleared over them.

Do an ebay search for CB750 tanks, and you'll find him.
