That's funny,the aerosol can that I got from RS,has a label on it that reads,,,COB SUZUKI 10401 CANDY GOLD,,,,
This was a few years ago,but a different code to your more recent one,,,,strange ??

I may have sourced a NOS side panel in Candy Gold no 4. If i get it & all else fails it would be something to match the paint to.
I've used RS paint before with no problems.
I have bought the panel & it's in the post. I will wait & see what it's like & take it to my painter to see if there is a colour on his system that's close or matches.redliner wrote:"Having looked up RS's web site & spoke to them they don't sell this colour"
hmm.. that's an issue .. I'm sat here looking at a parcel despatched from RS Paints on 29.07.2015 - it contains (amongst other items) a 400ml aerosol can of Candy Gold 15372 which I was assured is the correct match for Suzuki Candy Gold no.4 (288).
There is a few inconsistencies with RS. take the colour they list for a 72j GT550 & a 74 GT380L they have the same paint listed. I know for certain that they are 2 different colours the 550 is definitely gold & & the gt380 l is yellow!
The same for the GT750 L & A models RS list Flake Orange no 2 for both years! When a L model is flake orange & a A model is flake orange no2 again 2 different colours.
So I wouldn't believe everything thing they list as correct.
A friend a few years ago ordered paint for his yam xj550 a bike he has owned since new. The paint he got from RS was nothing like what it should have been, instead of a candy cardinal red he got a red muddy clay colour!

Yes I think the gt380 a was called candy gold no 5, a darker candy gold more like a bronze gold2strokejohnny wrote:my 76 gt380a was candy gold,wrong colour i suppose ?

Re: Candy Gold No4
have you looked at this - might help (or confuse further!! ) Candy Gold No.4 (288) is listed for the GT250M, the bike I am working on, hence my order to RS.

Did it sound like the person you spoke to at RS knew what they were talking about?

I am restoring a 1976 Suzuki GT750 A model & would like to repaint it to an original colour. The colour is called Candy Gold No4. I cannot find this colour listed on your web site & was wondering if you had this colour ? Many thanks Russell
the reply I received :-
Hi Russell
Thank you for your message. I'm sorry to say this is a colour we don't have.
However, we can make it for you if you have a part of the bike in the original colour that you can lend to us for a few days.
There's no additional charge for making a colour from scratch & of course we will return anything you send in, together with you paint.
If you can send a part, please mark for my attention
Many Thanks,
Phil
Now I know why so many A models are painted Blue!

Re: Candy Gold No4
Have you read this? (long post halfway down). They're talking about a blue colour but it looks like matching up your NOS panel's probably the way to go
