ive done a search and cant find the answer. what is the color code for the black 650r. there is like a pearl color in the paint. and does anyone know where i can buy some, would the color codes transfer correctly to an auto body supply store?

thanks for the help

There are two different black colors for the Ninja 650R / ER6f.

EBONY BLACK is Kawasaki Color Code H8

Metallic Diablo Black is Kawasaki Color Code 15Q

Ride On!

What is the color code for the 2011 Burnt Orange Ninja 650r?

Hey I found it on www.colorrite.com You can even buy touch up pens or jars to touch up scratches.

That is Kawasaki Color Code 15T

Really hard to get good pictures of this color. It looks way better in person than in pics IMO.

Ride On!

Yes I agree it's beautiful!! Except on Color Rite's site they said my color code was 17L, hmm weird. I was going to get the 2010 Lime Green Model until I saw the 2011 Burnt Orange color!!

+1 on pics not doing the orange justice.

I also love that new candy green.

If anyone ever liked the vivid yellow from the 08 zx6r the color code for that is E8

doing some more research on this topic, it sounds like its very hard to match the paint exactly or it costs alot from colorright.com.

maybe im better off taking the fairing to a local autobody supply shop and have them color match it. i bet it will be cheaper n a pretty close match.

If it's a solid color, like Ebony Black H8 or Lime Green 777 it's not hard to color match, but if it's a metallic color like Metallic Diablo Black 15Q or Candy Lime Green 15P you actually have to order two paints from colorright and it's not at all easy (in fact I dare say it's nearly impossible) to get a perfect match to the factory metallic paint...

If you have metallic paint a professional autobody paint shop would probably be your best bet.

Ride On!

Anyone know what the color code is for the black painted portion of the engine, etc.?

I'm looking at the Colorrite paint and have $107 in my cart now for primer, base, top and clear coat. I'm discouraged with the price especially if matching metallic is going to be crappy at best. It's for a headlight cowl. Not near any of the other painted panels. But I still worry about dropping the $125 with shipping.

Unfortunately, the paint in a can is $87 per 1/2 pint. Even if it's a better job the cost is up to a minimum of $175 without prep, primer or clear. Not to mention time.

 

[djsprinklesnjo]

$125 seems like an ok price to me, how much paint are you getting for that amount?

The paint is for a headlight cowl?

Must be for an ER6n?

If that's the case why don't you just buy a new cowl?

A brand new Kawasaki ER6n OEM Headlight Cowl will cost you less than the paint!

Happy Trails!

If it's from ColorRite, it'll match perfectly...as long as it's applied correctly.

This.

And what would be the correct way to apply it? How many coats of each?

This.

I don't get it?!?


Tony,
It is for the 6n but I'm not using the 6n headlight anymore.
