H everyone,
I'm trying to get hold of a panel (or anything) that is Diamond sky blue. This was a Kawasaki z1000 A1colour on a 1977 model. My painter is having difficulty finding any codes relating to this particular colour (apparently there aren't any), however he assure me that he can match it from a panel. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have no joy finding a panel these people will be able to supply the correct colour as they already have the correct mix on file...

Never used them for a full repaint but had a few touch up's and they weren't a million miles away given how widely standard colours can vary from the factory.

The original bikes varied from nearly green to fairly blue so there’s no “correct” - just “consistent with” or “could have been”…
