    Eric, we do have the original colors in pint cans (enough to do a whole bike, or 2.......) but it must be reduced and spray thru a gun.

    HCP7916PC Aftermarket X-ACT MATCH BODY PARTS PAINT features the correct Yamaha Code H8 Star Red semi-metallic high-gloss finish as used on painted metal and plastic body panels, cowlings, fairings, etc. Requires no special surface preparation (besides absolute cleanliness!) and cures without heat or catalysts. Primer is required. This beautiful color is a bright medium-red with a moderate amount of metallics, and is as close as possible to the original Yamaha color. Faded versions of this paint look awful, as all of the red tends to wash out, leaving it appearing as an almost-rust colored paint, but the original color is very attractive! Originally used on 1982 XJ650 Maxim models.
