Hi Folks,

My first post in the forum, great to be here.

Bought my K100 a few months back as a standard bike and turned it into a bratstyle cafe mongrel.

Looking at having the tank restored and was wondering if anyone could identify the paint name and colour. It's a metallic pearl white, kind of cream but not flat colour.

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the forum. I think you'll see that most of us have our model info, VIN, even a piccie posted at the bottom. It helps identify the model down to the particulars when a question is asked. If your bike is a 16V, for example, then the colour will likely be different from an earlier 8V.

Here is a useful link to colour codes for BMW motorbikes:

I've never used these guys but believe them to be good.
