78 R100RS "Belgium Police bike red color code?

[stevenrankin]

So, does anyone know the name of or, the color code/Paint code, Paint pinstripe code numbers for the so called 78 Belgian police bikes? These are the two tone red upper fairing, tank tail piece with matte black lowers and side covers.

Mine was repainted once close to original however this next winter, I would like to overhaul it and paint it the stock color. St.

Thanks

Hey Kurt, thanks for wading into Snowbum's stuff for me, as I have said, I am too lazy most time to do so, lol. I love his write up about the BPB, and note he says it is the same red as the 77 bike. It gives me a start, I painted the bike once from faded red and now it is not close to original, pretty yes, but not close.

I think perhaps I will shoot Tom Cutter a note and see if he has the paint code as he seems to be most knowledgeable about the run of bikes. Thanks again. St.

Snowbum said it was the Red Metallic used for the '77 R100S...code 531.

Yes

So now I have to find it in a paint my paint guy is happy to work with. Thanks Kurt for making up for my lazy habits of not reading Snowbum. St.
