A motorcycle has fairings that are generally made of different materials, mainly metal and some plastics. All these parts are usually painted with a paint classified according to Asian motorcycle color codes ; in this case, the color codes of the manufacturer Yamaha. To know the paint code, there are different ways that we describe in the following paragraphs.
To order Yamaha paint, click on the product page below Entitled "Yamaha Mate varnish base paint". On this page you will simply have to choose one of the volumes of paint offered (count 1m²/250ml) and above all to read the detailed instructions, which will allow you to succeed in your project, without failing with the many possible difficulties inherent in bodywork paint.
The Yamaha brand paints are offered from 250 ml and 500 ml in ready-to-use versions. The 400 ml Yamaha spray paint version is also ready to use. We offer larger offers with the 1 l and 2 l kits, which contain the paint in its pure state along with the thinner separately. Dilution is up to 100%.
An often asked question is: can professional quality work be achieved with spray paints ? The answer is clearly yes, provided you use our aerosols or professional-grade aerosols. Never use paints sold in mainstream type stores. The same paints are contained in our paint cans as in our aerosols, which we fill the same day, on demand.
As for our varnish aerosols, these are also professional clearcoats for the bodywork, which contain a compartment housing a hardener and which thus allows the creation of a polyurethane bodywork clearcoat with 2 components as resistant as varnishes used by professional painters.
The paints of the Japanese manufacturer are very fine and particularly beautiful paints. Such beautiful paintings are rarely found in the automotive world. They use ultra-fine mother-of-pearl and transparent shades. They can be more complex to apply, due to the fact that they can be "multi-layered". However, in the mode of general application, these are solvent-based paints, of the matt base type to be varnished, which are particularly easy to paint.
The very simple trick for optimally successful application of these motorcycle paints is to paint several very thin coats, close together, only 1 to 2 minutes dry. Each step, undercoat, paint and varnish, is linked one after the other, which allows cohesion, this is the technique that is called in professional jargon, “wet on wet” painting.
Yamaha paints can be more complex as some paints have some transparency and require a specific background color. In most cases, this is a primer. This primer can be one of the 3 reference shades of gray, or sometimes a white one for light colors, and even sometimes a black primer.
According to certain Yamaha color codes, a specific colored undercoat from the Yamaha manufacturer may be necessary. In the world of motorcycle paint, this type of paint is called a “First Coat”. This painting has the same color code with the addition of a "/1". For Yamaha brand colors, there may therefore be three-layer paints, and even four-layer paints. The interest of the superposition of different layers, allows optical effects of passage of light through colored transparent layers and reflection of light on opaque and reflective layers.
All of this may seem complex. However, the project of a painting on a Yamaha motorcycle is relatively simple. Our team is there to support and advise you. From the choice of primer, to the choice of clearcoat.
Indeed, it is not possible to achieve as was possible at the time, a glossy paint in a single coat. Today, most paints are "multi-layered".
Yamaha is a world renowned Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. Its activity extends far beyond the construction of motorcycles, with not only a specialization in snowmobiles and jet skis, Quads ATVs, but also other more specialized areas such as musical instruments and motors. .
The date of its foundation dates back to the year 1887, almost 140 years ago, by a Japanese man of the same name whose trade was watchmaking and instrument making. Mr. Yamaha was an expert in his field, organ building and in the field of mechanics.
The development, production and sale of motorcycles will take place from the period after the Second World War. During the war, the Yamaha company was forced to completely stop its production of instruments, to manufacture propellers for aircraft and for the army at the request of the government.
From this unfortunate constraint, will be born a great diversification and a multiplication of the growth of the company. Just after the war, the manufacturer studied all possible avenues for potential diversification in a partly destroyed Japan. He will launch into the production of sewing machines but also of automobiles and motorcycles.
The split between the various heterogeneous activities of Yamaha and the group specially dedicated to the production of motorcycles and engines "Yamaha Motor Corporation" will take place in 2001. Throughout its existence, the Japanese manufacturer will not cease to expand and diversify its activity through the acquisition of external companies.
Your paint reference can be found on the original documents obtained when purchasing the motorcycle. If your motorcycle was purchased second-hand and you do not have these documents, then contact the nearest Yamaha dealer. These professionals of the Japanese brand should normally be able to provide you with all the exact references of the color of your motorcycle according to its model, according to its year, and according to its color.
Unfortunately, this is the theory and in practice it is often different. It is always difficult to obtain its Yamaha color code.
One of the richest and most reliable sources of information are discussion forums on the Internet: there are many forums devoted to the Yamaha brand and its motorcycles. On these chat rooms are exchanged all kinds of information on mechanics, but also on paintings.
If you do not have a color code, then it is useless to contact us because we cannot search by model or year only. However, we can take care of the validation and verification of your reference by telephone or email. We can tell you if it exists and if it is also available. Many colors are not available because they have not been matched.
Possibly Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha's most famous tint is the Pearl Blue tint. It's a color that the brand's colorists have succeeded in perfectly, with exceptional finesse and captivating depth. It is also a special color since it is done in 3 layers.
