Title: Breva 1100 red paint?
Post by: flower_king001 on February 12, 2017, 10:20:59 AM

Hi,

 Thinking about color matching the red paint on my '07 Breva 1100. Recently purchased a Givi A755 from a list member (MUCH THANKS) and wish to paint it red to match. Any idea what RED might be close?

Thanks...

If you cannot find a paint code take a panel off or the front fender and take it to a paint store and see if they can match.

That makes sense.  Can't some of the better paint stores/body shops scan the paint on your vehicle and create a similar or identical color match?

I did take my Red Breva into a Auto  Value  store and had it scanned, I will edit this post latter when I'm at home  and provide numbers.


As I recall they called it a Toyota Copper, that was the closest match.
I would be very interested in seeing if you get the same number and description.

Toyota copper
Code 4P6
Formula #403484

I will take a picture of the mixture and post it as well.

Hopefully you or your paint guy can make some sense out of this. I hope you get a chance to take a part in and get a scan, maybe we can get close with 2 or three scans. Good luck.

Hi Dave,

 thanks for all the info...I'll bring a fender in soon and see what the scan reads.

Thanks again for the info!
