NSR 125 01' Frame Paint Code

Trying to locate the correct paint code for the grey/silver paint on the frame.

It's for a 2001 NSR125, the paint code on the rear subframe is R-127 which I think only refers to the fairing color code (Red/Blue).

There's a few corrosion spots on the alcast frame I'd like to tidy up but can't for the life me track down an accurate paint code on the bike.

Can anyone throw some ideas what it would be out of the numerous dark grey/silver paint codes that Honda have?

- nice to post again after years away! Surprised

Cheers

Have you tried https://www.rsbikepaint.com/en-gb/colours.php?

Hi Kawasaki Jimbo,

I hadn't seen that site, cheers for the link.

By the looks of it, seeing the Black option NSR paint includes the "accurate silver" paint code NH-146M for the frame

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Thumbs Up

Paint (and lacquer?) of the correct type applied to the subframe in 2020 might not match the aged colour on the rest of the frame though.

I'll touch it up with the paint kit I get, with the lacquer too. If it looks like a really poor quality finish I'll probably start again and repaint the while frame.

If you have any other tips that'd be great.

Cheers for the advice
