Title: Colors
Post by: RV8guy on August 03, 2007, 11:27:08 PM
I saw a picture of a 1st gen magna that had a blue factory paint scheme. Looked really good. Anybody have an idea where I could find a code for that color?

www.color-rite.com  It was probably the 03 Magna if it were all blue.

The picture I was looking at was of an 1983 bike. It may be black but the painted parts sure look lighter than the seat and frame wich are definitely black.

I followed that link. A good resource but man, they want some money for their paint. I thought PPG was expensive.

Ill talk to my PPG rep and see what he says. Usually I spend around $60 a pint for factory matched colors. That's a lot better than $110.
