question about frame paint

[thrstrmech]

Does anyone know if the Magnesium or Hammertone frame paint is the same color as the sub frame / seat rails on the '03 Lightning?

 

[squidbuellie]

Yes, and "No" not the same color...



:edit
Just to make it clear...... The answer is "NO" the paint for the xbs tails are not the same for color as the frame paint...

 

[thrstrmech]

Hammertone, but can't find a part number for the aerosol can of paint. anyone know what it is? the Magnesium was for the XB12.

I believe the tails are "Magnesium tone"? Might be Ulysses color also

MO310.1AAYBQ,

I know this isn't xb9 frame because it didn't match.

That "BP" is graphite grey, that is the XB12 frame color for sure.

There's a list somewhere search it

ok, thanks guys...just re-read my original question and **** it up...

I know the '03 frame / swing arm paint is Fluid Silver, what is the color of the sub frame / seat rails? The modules and center tail section are the same color, the seat rails were different from the frame and swing arm. Have found Hammertone touch up paint in the little bottle. Is Hammertone the color of the seat rails?
Graphite Gray is way too dark for the '03's.

this is my bike before painting the seat rails yellow, you can see the difference is the colors

I believe that's the "magnesium tone" I listed

 

[thrstrmech]

nope, the magnesium tone is like a light gold, center chin fairings were made in that color to compliment the Uly primary cover and seat rails, may have been used on other models, but not the '03's. the color is a slightly darker silver as seen below

well that picture doesn't do it justice. maybe this one
