NC30 Type-8 Colour Code

Post by matt_nc30 »

Hi. I have looked at the paint code thread, but im not sure which one of the colours it is.

I need to buy the blue/purple? on the nose cone, that carrys onto the fairings. Its the only blue part of the bike, and its a sticker.

I had an extremely stupid accident yesturday, which resulted in a huge crack on my nose cone :(

I need to get mine reapired or buy an undamaged honda one and get it sprayed.

Could any one point me in the right direction for the colour i need?


Cheers

Matt

That's why there's no paint code!

The best thing to do would be to take it to a paint shop for matching.

I think my NC30 is the same type and after checking out various paint shops linked from these forums (http://www.rsbikepaint.com/en/colours.php, http://www.motorradlack.de/) I planned to paint it with Uranus Violet P-9.

Cheers for replys guys.

The only colours i can find are the ones that CRM mentioned in his paint code thread.

Light Blue: Wistaria Blue PB166
Dark Blue: Seychell Night Blue PB186 * Sticker only on O.E.

I can order both from rs bike paint but still not sure which one, and i dont want to get it wrong because they paint isnt cheap! :P
Im thinking more of the Dark Blue, but it doesnt look particularly dark.

This is the colour scheme, and the colour i need - Image

Thanks all

Matt

It's neither... those colours are listed under a VFR400R-L model, yours is a VFR400R-N colour scheme (to confuse things even further it looks like an early K model bike...).

Can you not just order a new sticker?? :?:

I'm sure someone could make a good copy, or get the paint matched by a pro.

:down:

any ideas where i can even begin to look for a new sticker?

finding a good original nose cone in the right colour scheme would be best, but never going to happen :( :pray:

might just have to try get it matched as best i can.

This has probably been solved already, but i went to a specialist paint shop with my mid fairing in the same scheme! Its paint on the mid, not a sticker so it does have a paint code! Interestingly enough, iirc it is honda NH196 (the same as the white). I found this odd, but apparently they code several colours that are used for the same scheme with the same paint number! I still have the can at home so if i remember ill check it tonight!

Matt

Edit: I checked this over the weekend... the blue is: Honda moto blue NH196.
