Yamaha Paint Codes for RZ350K

Does anybody know the paint codes for 1983 Red & White Australia RZ350K? rd350lc.net list the colours for 1984 RZ350L as 00AJ Stormy Red (SMR) & Silky-White SW 00GE but they don't seem to have a listing for the RZ350K, are they the same?

From my experience of paying a professional painter to paint a 84 rz, the yamaha paint codes don;t come up on any current paint suppliers data base. my painter colour matched some of the faded original paint and came up with what i would describe as spot on. i have an 83 red white and blue rz that will soon get put on the restoration bench, so maybe we can share some information. will you be painting the bike??

Sorry, it's been a while.I have a mate that works for PPG and he has painted the bike for me now, I've done everything else myself. From the information, I could find the original Yamaha colours for the 1983 RZ250/350K is Chappy Red CPR 00E1 & Clean White W 0036. Since I couldn't get the decal kit for the RZ250K I end up painting the bike in the 1984 RZ250L Red White and blue. Colorite can mix original Yamaha paint codes but apparently, it's hellishly expensive! So I just decided to use something close to the original colours that looked nice. The bikes not finished yet but it's getting very close. Happy to share.
