Black Colour Paint Code

I'm looking for the colour code for the lower fairing panels on a '94-'97 VFR750?

I believe it is some variety of flat black, based on pics I have seen (see sample below), but there are none in my area to look at.

Can anyone confirm and/or provide the correct code?

According to colorrite's website, it is NH1Z Gloss Black, but pics of the various 4th gens look like flat black to my eyes?

Anyone???? comp13.gif

What I'm really digging for is a colour to perhaps paint the lowers on my 800 as suggested in another thread:

The lowers of the 4th gen immediately sprang to mind, but I'm also leaning towards the Graphite Black of the 2007 CBR1000:

If it looks good, maybe I'd do the front fender in Graphite Black as well? comp13.gif

Canuck,

Let me first start off by saying that after a girl named Michele, who was my first girlfriend, my primary objet d'amour in this life so far was my 1994 VFR 491.gif She was better than any scruffy college student like me deserved. My she rest in peace...

Anyway, having removed those panels often during oil changes, I can tell you they are NOT painted, or at least mine weren't. They have the same finish as those pseudo-rocker panel/fender craplings seen on the Honda Element®.

It's a very very very very dark grey, slightly warm. Not quite black. At least, that's what I had. Whatever color you have in mind, I can tell you that is was SuperMatte finish, dimples and all.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: On 2nd thought, just buy a damned NSR and be done with it. We know what you're angling on.... rolleyes.gif
