Does anyone have a paint code or something from a modern vehicle close to what an early TZ 350 would have used?

The Red Scourge

It was only produced as a race bike right?  I usually see them in white.
'76 Yamaha RD400C
'71 Kawasaki G3SS
'88 Honda CBR400RR
'90 Yamaha FZR400/600 hybrid

Yes, white and red.  This isn't a correct restoration, figured I would see if someone had something close to original before I just pick something.

You can try asking James at nocamresto.com which white he uses?

He has done a ton of stock Yamaha paint jobs and they always turn out looking perfect.

Wasting time on 2T forums since the dawn of the internet. '89 TDR250, '13 300xcw, '19 690smcr, '56 Porsche 356A

I have a Yamaha model index with some paint codes. Scanning through there seem to be very few colors listed for any TZ other than white. W (white), WW, and CPR. No idea what CPR is. Copper? I assume that racers painted them and added sponsor colors and graphics.

I will try to attach it.yamaha-model-index-1958-2010_compress.pdf

CPR could be Chappy Red? Lol.

SoCal250

TZ colors are Clean White and Chappy Red.
WW  0036
CPR 00E1

The white is the same one that was used on the RD250B. It's just a solid white.
I believe there's a post here somewhere in which someone supplied a modern paint code match for the original Yamaha Chappy Red.
Here are some other options for CPR matches from my notes:
= Mazda A4A True Red (a little darker red, but close)
= Chrysler Prowler Red PRD, VRD (PPG 74848)
75 Yamaha RD125B   75 Yamaha RD125B (project)
75 Yamaha RD250B   75 Yamaha RD200B (project)
73 Yamaha RD350     77 Yamaha RD400D   79 Yamaha RD400F  
91 Yamaha TZR250R  89 Yamaha FZR400   05 Yamaha FZ6   
05 Yamaha XT225TC  82 Honda MB5  02 Aprilia RS250 Cup (sold)

I have always used Tremclad white and Tremclad red for the meatball. I have an original TZ and those colours are pretty close

Thanks for the replies.  Anyone know how wide the stripe on the tank/tail is?  I think I remember reading 10cm at some point but I am not positive.

It's chappy red for sure.  Which year/model are you looking to paint or copy?

Probably a tz350a or b
