Hi all,

Is anyone aware of a paint code for the 959's red wheels? I'd like to buy some touch-up paint!

Thanks!

Hi how did u go? Are red wheels the same as the red ducats colour. My reason is I aim looking to get the red seat cowl on my white 959

Reach out to Ducati America and see if they will tell you where to get it - good luck! OR you could go to a top-tier autobody repair shop and have them color match it.

When I was in the process of making my custom stickers, I asked Ducati Italy for the color code to the stock 959 color of the sticker on the tank, they said - go pound sand boy!

The color code for the "Anniversary Red" Panigale is: PPG DUC.473.101

The only difference between the 1199/1299 and the 899/959 is the lack of the clear coat: PPG 228.880

I have the Panigale 1199R seat cover, so it has the decals underneath a clear coat, but it completely matches the red on the bike.

I expect that the wheels are slightly lighter.

I agree, I believe the wheels are a different color.

I just painted these last month. Had a PPG dealer color match them with PPG "Shop Line" paint and clear coat. It was considerably less money than the Ducati coded paint.

@dougo1199 - those bikes look great! I'd take the yellow one because I'm not particularly fond of red... I'm curious how the red painted 1199 would look next to a red 959 - are the colors close enough to notice they're the same, or is one's tint lighter or darker?

Thanks, @Dingo! being as it's track bodywork I wasn't too concerned with it being spot on, but they are very close. I'll put them together and post a pic.

I plan on trying out this paint to spray/touch up my red wheels that are sitting on the shelf at the moment.

Then again, maybe not.
