Picture Attachments Fixed? (18 Feb 2023)
Hopefully, the pictures uploads are fixed for the time being. Let me know if you continue to have issues. I am looking into a more permanent solution. Thanks for your patience. - Makotosun

Yamaha paint matches was created by Devin

A good website I have found, if you know a vehicle that has a color used, that was close to a Yamaha. You can find the factory paint and order it from the link below.
If you are looking for a pristine show room paint job I would suggest using Marble motors. He specializes in painting vintage bikes and can mix them to be very close to original. He has several options and will do any body work, welding, tank liner etc. His website is below, to view some of his fine work. If you are like me and want to save some money, he also will sell you the paint and you can try and do it yourself.
I have also posted some sites where you can search for close matching paints.
A few samples:

Dupli-Color DE1650 Ceramic Cast Coat Aluminum Engine Paint is almost a dead ringer for color and puts an incredible finish and unifies all of the unevenness that these engines have.

Yes, it can be clear coated. I clear coated mine, and it was used at Endurofest 2014. It held up fine. A layer of Wax, will give it added protection.
