Do you own a Suzuki motorcycle and want to refresh its paintwork? On this page, you will find paints manufactured precisely according to all the colour codes of Asian motorcycles, especially the Suzuki motorcycle colour codes. These are available in various formats, including aerosols or paint cans (from 250 ml to 2 litres).
These are professional-grade solvent-based paints. Each colour is prepared by our colourists based on the Suzuki code and a formula from our colourimetry software.
=> To place an online order, you only need to know your paint reference and send it to us by e-mail after completing your order.
To determine how much Suzuki paint you need, simply estimate the surface area of the part or fairings you wish to repaint. As a general rule, 500 ml covers a maximum of 2 m².
This type of motorcycle paint follows the same system used in automotive refinishing: a two-stage process consisting of basecoat followed by clearcoat. That’s why it is referred to as “two-layer paint.” In the terminology of the paint industry, these are also known as “flat basecoats to be varnished.” Their main advantage is that they are ready to use — they require no mixing or hardener. Only pure versions may require dilution with thinner.
These paints are extremely easy to apply, even for amateurs. They dry instantly and are fine enough to avoid runs. They also allow perfect alignment of pearl and aluminium pigments present in most modern shades.
The additional products you’ll need include primers* and also a topcoat.
The clearcoat is essential for all matte or two-coat paints, as it provides the resistance and gloss finish.
Since the 1990s and 2000s, most Suzuki colours have included pearlescent or metallic pigments. These are refined shades, offering depth and brilliance. It is not uncommon for such colours to require a third layer — a specific undercoat — in which case the paint is referred to as “tricoat.” In these cases, three products must be ordered, not just paint and clearcoat.
You can find out if your colour is a “specific paint” by contacting our technical team. In any case, you do not need to worry, as our technician will contact you by phone if a specific undercoat is necessary, to let you know which extra product to order.
It is also common for certain Suzuki shades to require a specific primer. Suzuki paints have varying coverage capabilities, due to the semi-transparent nature of pearls. Using a grey, black or white primer may change the final colour. Once again, our technician can provide exact recommendations for the right primer.
A primer doesn’t just provide a suitable base colour — it also helps prepare the surface before painting. The primer is applied before the Suzuki basecoat. In all cases, a filling primer is required if a repair has been done with filler. It is also necessary when the surface has scratches or irregularities. By applying several thick coats, then sanding with 500 grit wet sandpaper, a smooth, ready-to-paint finish can be achieved.
The next two stages are the application of the Suzuki basecoat followed immediately by the clearcoat. The clearcoat, applied in two glossy layers, is a crucial and delicate step.
Suzuki motorcycles appeared around 1945. However, the Suzuki Group’s origins date back to 1909. Surprisingly, its initial activity had nothing to do with motorcycles — the company was originally a manufacturer of industrial weaving machines. This remained its main focus for 30 years before exploring new avenues.
After World War II, Suzuki turned fully toward producing automobiles and motorcycles. By the mid-20th century, nearly 6,000 motorcycles per month were being manufactured under the Suzuki name.
Motorcycle production facilities were set up worldwide, from Thailand to the United States.
Suzuki has also long participated in racing and Grand Prix events. During these years, the reputation of Suzuki motorcycles for performance became firmly established across the globe. By the 1980s, the Toyama factory alone was producing nearly 5 million motorcycles per year. Suzuki also manufactures quads (ATVs).
Today, Suzuki ranks 11th worldwide in combined production of motorcycles and cars. The company employs nearly 45,000 people across 23 countries, with 133 distributors operating in 192 countries.
In the motorcycle world, it’s common not to find the colour code easily — whether on the frame, fairing, or documents.
If you do not know the official colour reference, you may be able to find it on the manufacturer’s website. There is extensive data available online, covering motorcycle colour codes from the 1960s to today.
Forums and discussion groups are the best places to look. We encourage you to browse them — especially their English-speaking sections — if you haven’t yet found your code. Your local dealership may also be able to help or point you in the right direction to retrieve the original colour number.
Our colour department is available to answer your questions, check and validate colour codes. We can also confirm whether your shade is available in our colour database. What we cannot do, however, is search for a code for you. That’s simply impossible when working with databases containing hundreds of entries that are not linked to specific models or years.
Suzuki has created many beautiful shades, including striking pearlescent blues. These are highly iridescent colours with translucent and deep hues. However, there are no officially recognised iconic colours unique to the brand.
Suzuki colour references follow the international colour code system. These codes are made up of letters or numbers, generally 3 to 6 characters in length. Each code is always accompanied by a colour name, usually one or two words in English.
Here is an example from our database of what Suzuki paint codes and names look like :
10R MILKY WHITE SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 1997 - 2006
138 CANDY MAX ORANGE SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 2007 -
138 FIRST COAT SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 2007 -
13L BRIGHT SILVER SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 2000 -
14B BLUE BANDIT SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES
17U URBAN GREY SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 1995 -
19A FIRST COAT SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES 1999 -
Please note: it is not possible to search for a colour code based solely on the model of your motorcycle.
