Thunderace silver number?

[Crazy L]

Hi guys

I need my wheels respraying and am after the silver on my fairing panels. My bike is the red/silver model, with red being vivid red cocktail #7 but I have no idea what # silver is in my bike, nor do I have any clues. The sticker under the seat is illegible too.

I see silver goes from 1 to 9, then an A. Would someone have an idea which one is on my bike or how I can find out please? 2 hours on the internet so far and fruitless.

Ta muchly

Most motor factors/paint supplies will be able to colour match for you
Or see RSPaints on tinterweb

I tried RS paints website already, they simply list it as silver, which doesn't help me much. I have the wheels off and am taking them to a body shop so I need a code. Don't really wanna fanny around taking fairing off if I don't have to. Cheers though for your input.

I emailed Fowlers yesterday morning to see if they knew what silver it was, no reply yet. I also emailed RS paints, who only told their own reference number, not the actual code or what it's called. So far, I'm going nowhere fast. Looks like I'll have to fart about taking the mid panel out to take with me to body shops. Seems like they only want to answer questions when the answer is money.

Why is it so 'kin hard to find certain bits of information? I only want a paint code.

If you only want the code, this may assist

Thanks Stig. When I looked at that yesterday, it didn't seem to shed much light on the subject, but over breakfast this morning at.quarter to 6, something clicked and I realised it's called Star Silver, or SS, and is coded as 006m.

Case closed. Thanks to all

Now I just need to get my jacksie to some paint shops

A couple of local paint vendors couldn't help me so an order was put in to RS Paints, of whom I've heard mixed reviews.

I'll play it by ear I guess.
