wheel paint?

Post by owldaddy »

I have a 04 Ferro metallic with blue wheels and frame. I have been keeping an eye out for a mention of what paint may match the blue, that is on the frame and wheels. I believe it is the same color used on the Yellow jackets as well. Does anyone know of a paint code/match for that blue?

I have a Yellowjacket. I believe the Ferro Blue metallic code is 943.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply John, I found a page with paint codes on it, but they don't go up as high as 943, I suspect that is a paint theme code. In your case that represents the yellow/ferro combo. My tank is in good shape (dark ferro metallic), I have a few minor scratches on the wheels and frame, I'm not sure what they call that color, perhaps it is ferro metallic, it is a lighter blue then the tank. News flash!!!! I just found a site that has both blues available, I will be ordering a bottle of touch up paint for both colors, I'll let you know how well they match.
