Somewhere on here,I remember seeing "Paint Codes" for Triumphs I can't seem to find it I have a 2005 Bonneville America that is Mulberry Red and dark Grey  I need to find out the paint code for the dark grey I plan on putting a Scallop on my front fender to hide where I wrecked it (On the tip of the fender) I'll be using the gold pinstripe also to match the Tank Thanks for any help

It should be Graphite http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/forums/...ge=0#Post395799GRAPHITE IVC L3725 T3120300-LC I'm not sure they can all be readily crossed to DuPont by the numbers alone. I had trouble with Goodwood Green that way. The paint guy did it by eye.

Trichop, go here to find your code. http://www.triumphtwinpower.com/triumphtwinpaintcodes.phpUSE ONLY the last two letters of the code. Call a STANDOX paint distributor and tell them it's a Triumph motorcycle they will be able to mix it. This came directly from Triumph USA and Standox. It worked flawlessly for me. Standox makes every OEM paint color for the Triumphs, at least until 2008 according to Triumph USA. Dupont made SOME of the colors as well. Clay

Awesome - I haven't been able to find the code for Phantom Black anywhere and I've searched all over and given up. Thanks!
Cheers, Richard

I went through that paint code thing after I dinged my brand new Speedy tank in 2007. The mulberry red is a combo of cardinal red & graphite, if I remember correctly. The problem is it is a european manufacturer & to use it you need the compatible hardener, primer, etc., etc. I had my local paint store (PPG) color match it & my body shop guy prepped & painted it, w/the result being a PERFECT, orange peel free, job. It has held up great, w/no noticeable im- perfections. Total job for a 1/2 dollar size dent repair & finishing was $300. The money I saved over a replacement tank & all paid for my accessories. Also, by using PPG, my shop could use inhouse primers, catalysts, etc., saving me the cost of having to buy factory stuff by the quantity they require.
