Actually, you're forgiven. The only thread I could find was hiding in a Post Pool I'm still working to bring back en masse.
In the meantime, try this restored thread. I saw a PPG Deltron BC/CC formula at least.
Added this to the '03-'05 Bin-O-Facts too.

Ask, and ye shall.....
Try here. If you get a solid code since you're an '06 owner with a serious personal investment in getting the shade right, please shoot a PM to Rickster that does the '06 Bin-O-Facts thread with the results.
Ok... I figure you mean after attempting results, not quoting what's in the thread you pointed me to.
I need the info and will pass on the thread info to my body guy.
You may have worked it out by now but Yamaha are a bit coy about their colours.
The first time I heard of Yamaha Bluish Silver #4 (BS4) was when i phoned Yamaha customer enquiries, gave them my VIN # and asked what the colour was. They looked it up on their computer and it came out Yamaha Bluish Silver #4 (BS4). You won't find any such number on the bike and Yamaha do not supply paint, they will just refer you to a paint supplier.
Get your VIN and use the phone.

The guy who is painting my bike parts says (deleted). I'll let you know the results. I showed him Gerald's formula which was said to be a bit too dark and he said the reason is that there is no pearl in the formula. He also showed me the pearl he bought, list was $170 for about 10 oz., but enough to last him a long time.

I got my parts back from my painter last evening and he said the mix # I posted above is not right. It was way too dark. I have to pick up a bottle of touch up paint from him Monday night and he says he'll give me the info from the matching paint... I hope he isn't considering the match info a trade secret.
I've not looked at my parts since last evening in the gathering dark, but the match looked real good and the surface quality was teriffic. I hope the match looks as good in other lighting conditions.
EDIT: Daylight now and the color match still looks great. I sure hope I can get the info from the painter. He charged me $200 for doing one bag and the same side's rearview mirror. Not a bad price based on what others have paid.
BTW, I was searching and found this too-dark color mis-match for the pre-06 Galaxy Blue: "Technically Duplicolor doesnt make a color match for the 2005 FJR, but the TY01612 Toyota Stellar Blue is a damn close match." I therefore wonder if that color would look ok for scratches or even large areas of an '06?
