Member Contributer RC36B Posted September 7, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm trying to figure out the original color of a VFR 750FT (1996) (RC36B VIN). Yes - I got a small sticker under the seat but that does not really make me understand which color it is... the sticker have both R158D and R158P - see picture. So, my question is... which is the color-code and then, what is the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FromMaine Posted September 7, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2017 158-p is Pearl Pure (Deep) Red. The is a complete list of Honda Motorcycle paint codes available, Google Honda Motorcycle paint codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted September 8, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 8, 2017 The "Color" is the paint colour (as mentioned, R-158P); the "Code" is the paint scheme. On bikes with few colour schemes, the second one is largely irrelevant, but on bikes like the NC30, which was offered in several different multi-coloured schemes each model year, it can be an important way to differentiate between different schemes featuring the same "red", but in different patterns (and different BNG, of course...). (My not-recently-updated paint code list is http://www.vsource.org/VFR-RVF_files/BHondaPaintCodes.htm.) Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FromMaine Posted September 9, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thanks JZH, that was the list I was referring to. Wasn't sure I could post it here or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
