2013 Suzuki-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 2013 Suzuki-Motorcycle Vibe

Welcome to 2013-the year the Hayabusa finally got Brembo brakes and the GSX-R was busy celebrating its 50th anniversary. It was an era of serious, monochromatic professionalism. While the rest of the world was busy arguing over the Harlem Shake, Suzuki was perfecting the "Grayscale Speed" look. We've curated the colors that defined this high-speed era: Oort Grey Metallic, Pearl Mirage White Tricoat, Shadow Black, and Sonic Silver. These weren't just colors; they were stealth coatings for the highway.

Paint Health Check

If you're looking at a 2013 survivor, you're dealing with the height of the Thin Paint Era. By this time, the robots at the factory had become frighteningly efficient. They figured out exactly how many microns of paint it took to cover a fairing without a single drop of "waste." Great for the bottom line, but bad for you when a rogue pebble hits your tank at 70 mph. The clear coat on these bikes is notoriously "soft," meaning it'll take a deep shine if you polish it, but it'll also catch scratches from your jacket zipper or knee grips if you even look at it sideways.

Restoration Tip

When you're patching up a 2013 Suzuki, remember: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin, a heavy-handed glob of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. Apply your color in 2-3 paper-thin coats rather than one thick one. This is especially true for the Pearl Mirage White Tricoat-that pearl effect relies on light passing through the layers, so rushing it will just leave you with a flat, milky spot. Take your time, let it flash off, and you'll keep that robotic precision looking factory-fresh.
