Need help identifying a paint code...

Good morning folks: I have a 1979 KZ1300 being restored and am trying to select the color to paint it. The photo below is one that I located randomly by internet search. It appears to be a dark blue,anyway, I love the color and would like to id it.

<a href=" s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg183/stickm...ent=EuropeanBlue.jpg " target="_blank"> i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg183/stickman2332/EuropeanBlue.jpg " border="0" alt="Photobucket">

Can anyone tell me if it is an original color for the 1300? And would anyone happen to have the paint code? I know that's asking alot but this group has come thru for me before. Any assistance will be much appreciated. Happy holidays. Stickman

Well, that photo posting did not work. Let me try again.

Hopefully, this thumbnail post.

Perhaps the original "Luminous Starlight Blue."

I don't have the paint color code.

Good Fortune!

Maybe call Ralph @ paintworkz.

+1 on the above. paintworkz.com/

On a stranger note...I'd avoid what used to be the 'go to' place for information on KZ1300's...that being www.kz1300.com as the site owner appears to have gone over the edge :)

I have never done a color match on the KZ 6 cylinders....but it probably is a Candy color. Some sort of solid color base like a dark grey, a silver flake mid coat and a Candy blue top coat. Just guessin'

Over the edge is right! Heck, they're so far over the edge they can't even see it in their rear view mirror! I wonder what happened? Ed
