Hello,
I own a Tenere 1vj
the Rims are made of aluminium and I think they have an treatment to give the color.
I can´t do that treatment to my rims.
If I paint them with gold color as OEM, which would be the Paint code for that color? Thanks

XT600 ZL Tenere Paint Codes

Get them powder coated gold, read Geoffs 3AJ builds to see, painting them is not a good idea as it chips easy (i found this out the hard way).

Paint code for gold is RAL 1036 Perigold slightly darker than my faded? 1vj wheels although if you go for powder coating
check what their gold looks like, they should have a sample.
Kickstarts, remember them

I did not want to color plastics, so I chose colors similar to the seat cover! Very very hard to pick up right color (second choice) on photos....

I dont recall ever seeing it quoted on here, you may have to go to a factors and see if they have anything close, I did read something recently elsewhere that the 660's X/R and Z engine finish is the same as used on Yamahas marine outboards, how right that is :scratch: .
