MHR paint codes
Hi.
I'm off to my local paint shop in the next day or two to get a match for the green to attend to a few scratches on my fairing, whilst I am there I will get the red code also. I'm will be taking to the shop the original seat as a reference from my 1979 MHR. I've had this bike from new so the codes will be as close to original as far as my eyes can tell.
Cheers
Bob

Here are the equivalent paint codes:
Green: BS381C 277
Red: Suzuki Brilliant Red GSX 1100R
The paint shop owner did the matching for me taking the seat moulding as a reference.
The weather here in the UK is terrible at this time, so the outside light levels are quite poor so use this information at your own risk!

Hi again.
This morning I attended to the green scratched paint on my fairing using the pre mentioned paint code, something is wrong somewhere as the match is a far lighter green.
I shall return to my paint shop in the morning, floods permitting, and try and work out what's gone wrong here, so my apologies to anyone who has gone out and purchased the wrong colour-aaggghhhh! I sincerely hope that nobody has.
There is a big issue in the UK with the government clamping down on VOCs so its very difficult to obtain certain colours due to the black tints being almost impossible to source, however that isn't an issue here, again, my apologies.
Woops
