Stock Paint job '83 KZ1100 LTD

I'm brand new to this forum, so please forgive me if this topic has already been discussed in previous posts. I tried scanning all the posts to get the information I need without success. The problem I have is that I am restoring a 1983 KZ1100 LTD back to its stock condition. The previous owner painted the tank flat black and I would like to have it painted with the original black, complete with the brown/orange/gold metallic accents. Does anyone know if these were decals on the tank or were they actually painted on at the factory? Also, does anyone have the color codes for this paint scheme? If not, would anybody have any close-up pictures of their LTD tank and side covers? I tried printing a few of the gallery photos but none of them have enough detail for my painter to decipher the shape and color of the original paint.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. --Demian

I dont have an 1100, but the striping on my 84 700 was painted on. It seems that a number of people are having the same problem and most of them try colorite.com with decent results.

Have you tried two places? www.z1enterprises.com (ask Jeff Saunders about his package deal fotr tank, side covers and I think frontfender). And www.reproductiondecals.com

Welcome to the site. If nobody has a definitive answer you may want to ask this eBay seller if the tank he's offering has painted graphics or decals:
