Does anyone know where the paint code number may be?

Thanks

I was digging around on my hard disc looking for other stuff and came accross a screen grab from an old Triumph factory web page and the data it gives matches that shown on the RAT forum Marc pointed at as :-

2003-2005 Tiger 955i
ALUMINIUM SILVER
Maker & code : DUPONT 460790101
Triumph Touch up Part No. : T3120300-MH

I used the info on that list to match the Caspian Blue for my Steamer and it was spot on, so you should be pretty safe with that.

Increasingly paint shops rely on scanners and computers to match colours. I had my doubts, but my wife's Micra is black in some light and very dark purple in others. It works for that so I suppose it should work on anything. I wonder if it can do candy glory red........

For the first time ever I found Halfords very useful, they had the paint codes and can mix on site either touch up or aerosol. I must say the mix was spot on.

That's good to know, and most unusual. I went to Halfords recently for gasket goo and gave up. I had to pop into the Saxo farkling emporium to buy some.
