Yamaha colour change

[WherEmEweeD]

Hi so i have been planning to change the colour of my red yamaha xt125x 07 to blue.

So far i have changed the seat covers.
Bought a new set of stickers.
sanded, primed, colored then lacquered the fairings.

Everything looks good apart from one big nasty issue. Its purple instead of yamaha blue.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction of the correct colour spray can.

Also should i be laying a white base coat down? would spraying a blue colour onto the original red be the problem.

this is the colour spray paint i purchased that came out purple.

i would have thought a grey primer coat would have been needed, if the blue is a med blue

Best thing to do is find a bike colour blue you want off the 'net (ebay etc)
If i were you, and say for example wanted the shade of blue which is on the yzf-r125, then i would get the registration number off one, ring yamaha dealership and ask for the paint code. Local paint shop/supplier (not B&Q) will be able to make some up for you if you give them the paint code and recommend the correct colour base coat etc.

how i did it when i resprayed an old 'ped Vauxhall arden blue

Heres a few pics off my phone. Bought some white primer/clear lacquer. just need a colour to suit the seat. I will scan gumtree/eBay for a bike that has a tasty looking blue then ring dealer for the colour code.

Red and blue does indeed make purple. Looks like you could have done with a sympathetic undercoat.
