Thanks for the tip Kevin although I can't find anyone who knows what
Colorite is here in Canada (is it a product name or a body shop supply
chain?). Does anyone else know about the color code for the 94 blue?

<Hey Daren,
I didn't have to deal with any paint issues when changing my '93 to '94
because the person who was responsible for my bikes damage had to pay for
OEM plastic! Of course, it was already painted to the beautiful '94 blue.
Colorite DOES claim to have a matching color for the '94 blue and many GTS
listers have had good experiences with it matching the OEM color. I know
you can buy it in pint sizes to repaint the whole bike if needed. What do
ya think?

<Hi Kevin
I've had a couple of panels on my 93 GTS repainted recently and even though
the fellow doing the work is very good, he couldn't get the color to match
the original dead on. I'm going to have to repaint all the red pieces on
my bike now with a color code from a book so that they are all consistent
and
so the color can be reproduced consistently if needed in the future.
I am now reconsidering if I even want the bike to be red and I remember you
telling me that you went with the 94 blue for your bike. I think it looks
good and was wondering if you went with a color coded blue from a book or
if it was custom blended to match the factory Yam blue. I once received a
94
signal light for my bike and really liked the blue then. I would
appreciate
your feedback.
Regards
