Anyone point me in the right direction?  And is it clear coated?

Thanks

I'll be watching for answers as I need to repair a small chip in the fender of my '03.

I don't think you or your painter are going to find a paint code for your LeMans (Most body shops will say "No problem, I''' just call the dealer".  If you believe that I highly recommend you have the shop call and get the code, isn't going to happen, before you leave anything to be painted).  I take mine to a auto body shop with a camera that will take a picture of your paint and print out a match.  :BEER:

An automotive paint supplier can match it by camera or other ways.  Yes, it is clear coated.

 :+1 Not that many body shops have the equipment but rely on the supplier.  The shop I take my stuff to is way out in the country does quit a bit of custom work and has the equipment.  :BEER:

When I wanted to paint a fairing to match my '14 V7 Special, I couldn't find a paint code for the NEW bike.

Not gonna happen.  Take the bike or a piece of body work to the shop so they can match it up.

Paint supply stores have a computer that samples the paint color and spits out a formula to mix it.

It will be close. To get it perfect, it takes the eye of a woman and much experience to tweek it.

RS Paints lists a base coat and a clear top coat for your bike. You can google them.
