Hi does anyone have good quality pics and perhaps colour codes for the bike pictured below.
Owned the bike years ago and sold it, then bought it back years later and it was painted all one colour, going to get it back the way it was. Any help appreciated

There were quite a few in those colours when dealers were trying to shift stock, I think Dobles had a load done by dream machine, so send them a pic to see if they can match it.

As far as I know it wasn't a colour scheme from the factory.

Best ask the original painter / or contact M/C paint specialist like Dream Machine in Notts.

Dream machine will paint it but by the time I ship the bike there and back I’m looking at £1800 to get it painted. I have found a local guy willing to do it but he needs some pics for reference and paint codes if I can get them. Don’t think dream machine will be to keen to provide codes if they are missing out on the job

Is any of the old custom paint underneath the over painting?

A bit of careful sanding or looking for some old overspray in hidden areas to reveal it enough for your guy to match.

Looks like hi-vis fluorescent luminous RAL 2005 orange blended or faded with age to subdued orange, pearl white (Mineral White by BMW or Mystic White by Mercedes?) and a pearlescent purply blue. Difficult to tell the colour of the darker panel paint on the fairing.

Fluorescent paints fade in the sun so when you get it sprayed make sure they use a quality UV resistant clear lacquer.

"He even called Tommy Summers, who painted the original motorcycle Prince rode, for the paint codes so he’d have the replica just right."

Hi!

Have just bought a bike this weekend in this colour scheme!

My opening thread here if you're interested.

viewtopic.php?p=504734&hilit=dream+machine#p504734

Did you get your bike repainted in the end?

Mine was red initially in 1997, then repainted to these colours in 2000. Looks great, but faded a bit now.

Did this colour scheme have a name?

Be keen to chat.
