USA 1999 color is Yamaha Black or YB and code is 0033



Look at the label on the inside of your faux gas tank cover and see what EPA year is referenced that the bike meets. "This motorcycle meets 1999 EPA requirements... " and see what is the color on the inside of the faux cover.

My 99 was the faux carbon fibre model. If you have access to a good hydro dip finisher, they can quite accurately reproduce it. Keep in mind that my 99 was a Canadian bike, so your home country may have had something different. We also had gloss black exhaust pipes in 99.

Where did you get this dipped and what was the cost?

 

[Randy67500]

Kingsmen Kustoms: Hydrographics, Mississauga, GTA - Custom Painting, Vehicle Vinyl Wraps This is the link for where I had it done in Ontario Canada. They had 2 different sizes of the carbon fibre look, this being the larger of the two. The colour of the finished product depends on the undercoat. It cost me about $300 to have the tank and 2 fenders refinished.

That sounds very reasonable, and the tank cover is really-pretty like that. Can you post some bigger pics of the fenders? Better than this?



This one is better.
