Shannon,

I have an 08 Ridgeback that was supposedly painted as a Burnt Orange. I really don't know but would like to know if I ever needed to touch her up.

Give some time. It's not on the top 10 things I need to do, but I'll get.

My paint color is called Orange Blast -Monochrome w/o decal. Would greatly appreciate any paint info as I just scratched my front fender. Thank you

I have a 2007 Masiff in Brite Candy Red. Can you give me the paint code?
I needed to repaint a scuffs on my Brite Candy Red Bagger—I gave the paint codes Tapio published in post #1 of this thread) to my local guy, a professional custom painter, and he understood it all and matched it exactly.

Your painter will have to make a color panel to determine how many coats to use to correctly match the color. If you have to explain this to the painter, find someone else. My guy laughed at me for being mystified by the ‘recipe’. Haha
Thanks again to Tapio and Mr. Wright for helping us to make sense of our paint that needs ‘freshened up’.

So how does this work exactly, you have to use the VIN number off your bike to find out the paint code for your bike?

What if like in my case you also have ghost flames?

How do you do that exactly, just take a cell phone pic and send it into House Of Kolor?

I have a copy of the only known paint codes for these bikes. It only shows the base colors in general. There is no indication of what year, or bike, the color was used. Most of the earlier years, the paint was PPG paint, before they started using HOC. HOC candy paints are just that color. Meaning you don't need a paint code for the candy. What changes the color of the candy is the base color under it.

All 3 of these paint jobs were done in wild cherry candy. This one has a base of white, with a candy tangerine over that, then the candy red

This one had a gold base. The flames were taped off and lightly missed in pink, then the red candy.
