Auto paint that matches Breva 1100 red?
« on: February 02, 2020, 06:26:59 PM »
Anybody here found a common auto paint that matches the red on a Breva 1100(and I assume 1200 Sport and Norge)? A while back I picked up a Givi fairing and I've been thinking about trying it on my Breva 1100. A couple of coats of an appropriate shade of red would help.

I checked a partial paint code list that Mike Haven from MPH had posted quite a while back and this is apparently the paint code for the Breva 1100 red

Breva 1100 "Red 5.4D.23441 AKZO NOBEL"

You're right the same paint is listed for the 1200 Sport & 1200 Norge.

The same paint code is also listed for the Breva 750 but with a different name "Red Race-Rosso Guzzi 5.4D.23441 AKZO NOBEL"

fwiw, good luck

if you have no luck, try Testors Red at the hobby store.  It's pretty close to the Italian Red.

If it's close to spine frame red, Blaze Red Chrysler/Roman Red Chevy is pretty close too at auto stores.

Haven't compared side by side, but Porsche 'Guards Red' may be close.

My partner’s Toyota Yaris is a close match. Can you see the repair ?

So, what part of the bike was painted with the Toyota Yaris paint?

It looks better in the shot than reality, but the bike fell over on a driveway once and scuffed the fairing just in front of the brake master cylinder.
It’s only a small repair, so not a good example for you, but the colour is very close.
