I have a blue vn900 classic. I have searched for a place to find paint codes and haven't had any luck. And before anyone says it, don't recommend ColorRite. My paint guy said to get the actual Kawasaki code so that he can get the best match possible, and ColorRite doesn't give deals to anyone so the price will be higher. Does anyone know the code or have a link to where I can find the code?
Does he not have a scanner, when i took mine to the paint shop i also took the front fender with the two tone on it, as well as the pin stripe. With the scanner it was a perfect match, automotive paint, no base coat.
It will be unnoticeble, both my colors in the 2 tone have metal flake in them plus the clear coat, depends on the painter i guess but you should be impressed when the job is done.
I don't know what year your bike is but if its the Candy Plasma Blue II the paint code is 524. You have to be careful though because Kawasaki used this code for two different blues. Before 2007 it was a solid blue. After 2007 it is the metallic blue used on the VN900.
Also, this color is a 3 stage, which means, the color is achieved in a 3 step process. First a metallic (usually silver) ground coat, followed by a transparent blue candy coat, and finally clear coat. Some places will sell you a simple base/clear where the metallic and candy blue are combined in one coat followed by clear. This may be an approximate match, but won't look the same. Unfortunately, this makes it more expensive.

Very helpful. Thank you. I'll have to look into that paint and see what my painter says. Right now I'm still chasing down painter leads. This is taking forever.
