Go into your local halfords and such like, Spot the colour you like and give them that.

Hi Mark,

i just got some touch up paint (for a TZR) from ebay for my XT
I believe the white and red is common to a few Yamaha models of that era. the red is called 'chappy' red.

the codes are

0036 White white, and 00E1 "Chappy" red frame

hope this helps

Andy

Halfords are good

I did the same a couple of weeks ago, my local halfords had a Yam swatch and got a match easily. There was no original paint code supplied by Yamaha according to two specialists near me!
