[AndyW]

Can anyone tell me what the code or colour name is for the paint on this 'ere SF2 (75 model)? I want to paint the bum of the single seat the same colour..

Yellowy sort of goldy colourish thing....

Hope that helps

Take it to a paint shop and they will colourmatch it.
Any time I give my painter a definitive reference code for a paint colour he does not have it in his database so he matches it from a sample. Hence the reason I borrow NOS sidepanels from Richard.

I've given the painter a sidepanel.. he wanted to know the precise code if poss as a starting point.. makes life easier all 'round, especially with faded 70s psychadelic metallics..

Don't know but I have a spare tank and sidelines for my SF and have been looking at colours - this was one of them so will follow with interest

Laverdamania lists it as:-

Or m?tallis? - Metallic gold
750 S, SF, 1000
Approach: Suzuki Oro Met 118B for 750GSXR (credit Tom Eatman

Thanks for that Andy,
Is your paint solid colour or metallic? I guess you can't tell in this low resolution photo but the finish is metallic

My SF was originally painted gold. The Suzuki color listed in JLO's site is the closest match I could get to the original paint underneath the tank and also compared with several photos in different books. The Suzuki paint has just a little metallic in it which fits to the style of paints used at that time of production. I love the gold Jotas but this is a darker tone than what the 750s used. It's a Laverda so it'll look good regardless what color you use.

Hi Rob,

The Jota does indeed look good, however, I must say it does, as Tom's pointed out, appear to be a completely different colour...
