Yamaha All Models Touch Up Paint (8 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Yamaha didn't just pick a palette; they curated a mood. With 8 distinct colors recorded, they've given us everything from the stealthy, night-vibe of Raven (DBC 906478) to the "I'm definitely speeding" energy of Bright Red. They even threw in some sophisticated nostalgia with Sandstone Metallic and Light Gold. Whether your ride looks like a deep Black Cherry or a crisp Silver, these colors were designed to catch the light while you're leaning into a corner.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Birth Certificate"-the paint code. On most Yamahas, you'll find a white sticker hiding under the seat or on the rear frame rail near the VIN. Now, for the reality check: Yamaha paint is known for having a bit of "thin skin." The clear coat on colors like Raven is famously soft, meaning it shows every swirl mark from a dusty rag. You might also notice some "sun-thirst" on the Bright Red or Midnight Blue parts that live outside-those pigments love to fade if they spend too much time in the driveway sun. Keep an eye on the high-impact areas of your fairings; that's where the chips usually like to congregate.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since colors like Bluish Gray Metallic and Midnight Blue are packed with tiny metallic flakes, you need to treat your touch-up bottle like a maraca. Shake it for a full two minutes-not just thirty seconds-to wake up those sparkles that have settled at the bottom. When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like nail polish: one thin layer to cover the "scar," wait twenty minutes, then a second tiny dab to level it out. This prevents that "blob" look and ensures the metallic bits lay down flat and shiny instead of clumped together. It requires patience, but your gas tank will thank you.
