Painting a motorcycle fairing, whether it involves a partial repair or a complete paintjob, can be done using a spray gun or an aerosol. In any case, it is essential to know the colour codes of Asian motorcycles, and more precisely, the colour code of your Kymco motorcycle, in order to order the correct paint.
Without the KYMCO colour code, it is not possible to look up the paint formula.
Once you have identified the correct Kymco manufacturer's shade, all you have to do is get started—beginning with preparing your workspace or paint booth and disassembling the parts. In most cases, it is not possible to paint the motorcycle without dismantling its components. The mudguards, side covers, tank, fender—all must be removed and placed flat on a rack or board, or even suspended. It is important to be able to paint from every angle: from above, the sides, and even slightly underneath.
Painting can be done by a professional in a paint booth. If you are doing the job yourself, the workspace can be indoors, provided there is sufficient ventilation to evacuate paint fumes, or outdoors. In either case, to reduce airborne dust that could settle into the clearcoat, we recommend wetting the surrounding area with a hose.
As for preparing the parts or fairings, it may be sufficient in some cases to simply sand with 500 grit abrasive paper, without applying a primer.
However, a build-up type primer is necessary in the following situations:
• scratched surface
• surface with filler applied
• surface from which stickers were removed or with uneven patches
The ordering process on our online store is simple and fast:

Delivery usually takes place within 24 hours in France and 48 hours in other European countries.
The Kymco paint we supply is a professional-quality solvent-based paint. It is flammable and hazardous. A respirator mask must be worn when applying the paint.
The Kymco brand colour codes we formulate are perfectly accurate and true to the original Kymco manufacturer colours.
A few notes on applying Kymco paints:
Step 1: The surface—whether it's primer or existing clearcoat—must be sanded with 500 grit paper. Never go above 500 grit if you want to ensure proper adhesion.
The background colour must be chosen with care. Of course, you may not know the exact background shade required for your Kymco colour code. This is where our colourist steps in and will contact you if needed.
The application of Kymco paint should always be done in several thin coats. It is better to apply more thin layers than fewer thick ones. This ensures better placement of the pearlescent and metallic pigments found in many modern Kymco shades.
As with other motorcycle brands, Kymco paint must be clearcoated. Therefore, it is essential to order a 2K Topcoat (bodywork clearcoat) to protect the paint and the fairing parts.
Few people know that Kymco is a Taiwanese motorcycle brand. The company was founded in 1963.
In its early years, Kymco mainly manufactured scooters for the Asian market and quickly became the fifth largest scooter manufacturer in the world.
The Kymco Group developed production plants across various regions of Asia, including Jakarta (Indonesia), Malaysia, Shanghai, and two other cities in mainland China.
In the United States, Kymco scooters are distributed through a group branch based in South Carolina, with over 600 authorised dealers across the country.
Since the 1980s, Kymco has also ventured into the production of ATVs (quads), which now represent a significant share of its output.
In 2008, BMW chose to partner with Kymco to supply engines for certain motorbikes and components for the BMW i3. Kawasaki also selected Kymco to partly manufacture its new J300 scooter.
Today, the Kymco Group produces around 570,000 vehicles annually at its Kaohsiung plant and employs more than 3,000 people.
The Kymco brand is well established in Europe, and we frequently receive requests for repair paints for their motorcycles—just as we do for Kawasaki or Honda.
However, finding the colour code for Kymco models can be particularly tricky. Whether it's a scooter or a motorbike, colour codes are handled similarly. Unlike in the automotive sector, colour codes are not found inside the door or engine bay.
The only way to know your colour code is to check your vehicle’s original paperwork or contact your dealer.
For those who’ve exhausted all options, we recommend using internet search engines and visiting forums dedicated to Kymco scooters. These communities often share useful information, especially regarding scooter colours.
There isn’t a single colour that stands out as truly emblematic of the Kymco brand. That said, pearl white is a shade that frequently comes up in paint requests for these scooters.
To give you an idea of what Kymco colour codes look like, here are a few examples :
KY0001 GREY KYMCO MOTORCYCLES 2001 -
KY0002 GREEN KYMCO MOTORCYCLES
KY0003 SILVER KYMCO MOTORCYCLES
