Hi there,
I've got a red 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa and I've just got a couple of stone chips on the bike that I want to clean up. As such, I'd like to order some custom made paint (not the original Suzuki stuff, it's just too dear for me) and was just wondering what the name of the colour is? Is it called Candy Velvety Red or Candy Antares Red? It is the darker kind of red so I'm hazarding a guess at Velvety, but I'd just like to know for sure. And whereabouts (if at all) is the paint code / colour description written on the bus because I've looked just about everywhere and can't find it.
If anyone can help me out it's much appreciated.

Hold up there boys.
The one listed on Volvi's link is the 2000 Red/Gray and NOT the 1999 Red Black.
The 99 red IS the Candy Antares Red
The Black is the Candy Saturn Black.
The paint code stickers are usually at the rear base of the tank near the hinge.
Tenacious - for fixing stone chips, I use Turtle colour fix wax.
It comes with a tube of solid wax, like a lipstick. You fill the chips with it and then wax over with the red colour match wax. If done right it hardens and you can hardly see any chips.

Busco, do they do Copper Silver stuff? <i></i>
mm, busgo - after picking up by bike from Ian - he told me to stay the hell away from Mr Sheen in a big way - same with plexus as well ;)
I am still working out whats best to use on mine hahaha "Busa riders always count in three's.... 100, 200, 300"

I dunno who Ian is but why would he say that?
I've been using it for donkeys years and have never had any problems with Mr Sheen.
You just use a clean cloth (such as chux) every time you wax.
Does the job for me.

the problem with Mr sheen only comes up when its time for a re-spray. If you dont re-paint the bike, then no problem, but if you do the silicon build up from Mr Sheen and other silicon based polishes seep into the plastic and cause problems with paint adhesion and is a real bith to get rid of.
Mr Dj, are you about? I seem to recall you having this problem when you were getting your bike done at Ronnie balls place a while back. <i></i>
Had my front fender and left side fairing resprayed a bit over a year ago - no problems.
Maybe it depends on the preparation by the painter.

maybe - but I was going to ask about it anyway since so many bike shops use it.
Maggot - what do you use? "Busa riders always count in three's.... 100, 200, 300"

RaZ80 have a good look at my old bike and tell me that Mr Sheen is bad for it I used it for around 4 yrs on this bike and never had a problem with it and I believe its new owner does the same
