i'm looking for the paint code for an '03 silver sv650s. i'm looking on color-rite.com and see that it has two silvers listed. a "metallic sonic silver" and a "silver metallic". it also notes that the "silver metallic" is the wheel color, so i would think the tank, etc is the "metallic sonic silver".

now if i gave a auto body shop the code for that (YD8), would they understand what i'm talking about? or is that color-rites code only?

thanks

This is suzuki's code for the paint but a body shop may be able to cross reference this. I'd probably have them get a sample and match it. Most shops are pretty good at matching paint colors.
But yes you are right. The metallic sonic silver is for everything plastic and the silver metallic is for the wheels only.
Have fun and good luck.
