Suzuki-Motorcycle All Models Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Suzuki has a knack for making bikes that look like they're moving at 100 mph even when they're sitting on a kickstand, and their palette plays a big role in that. With 12 recorded colors for their motorcycle lineup, they've struck a balance between stealthy classics and "look at me" track colors. They really went for it with the tri-stage finishes, giving us deep, multi-dimensional shades like Pearl Mirage White Tricoat, Bright Red Tricoat, and the electric Pearl Yellow Tricoat. Whether you're rocking the understated Shadow Black or the shimmering Sonic Silver, these colors are designed to catch the light-and unfortunately, the occasional rogue pebble.

What to Watch For

Suzuki paint is legendary for its finish, but it can be a bit sensitive. The clear coat tends to be on the softer side, meaning bug splatter can etch in if left too long, and the paint on the lower fairings and frame rails is often applied quite thinly from the factory. You might also notice some flaking on engine cases or "soft" spots where your knees rub the tank.

To find your match, don't look on the bodywork-it's usually hiding. Pop the seat and look for a small white sticker on the subframe or seat pan. You're looking for a 3-digit code (like YVZ or YAY). If it's not under the seat, check the frame rail near the headstock. Once you have that code, you're ready to defend your bike's honor against those highway stone chips.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Suzuki colors are "Tricoats" (like Medium Blue Tricoat or Pearl Racing White), they have a lot of specialized pearl and metallic flake settled at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least two full minutes-not the "lazy 30 seconds" most people do. You need to wake up those sparkles!

When applying, remember that these colors gain depth with every layer. Instead of one big glob to fill a chip, dab on a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat. Achieving that factory glow requires patience, but building the color slowly ensures it won't look like a dark scab on your beautiful fairing.
