I have a Purple Haze MC'S coming in a few weeks and wanted to paint some pieces to match, like a fire extinguiser and trim pieces. I can order the paint, but need a paint color code. Is there a reference that will give me the color code for the 2005 colors? Does anyone have a PH already and know the color code?

 

I had a truck painted that color.

It was called Purple Haze metallic...it was a Corvette paint.
I cant wait to see it.

 

I doubt very much that BMW is using the same paint as a GM product. I am willing to bet, however, that the name "Purple Haze" is probably copyrighted by Jimmy Hendix's heirs, who will sell it to anyone who wants to use it. I guess "Purple People Eater" just would not cut it.

 

Paint codes for new colors:

A24 – Purple Haze
A25 – Astro Black
A26 – Hot Orange
A27 – Cool Blue
A28 – Hyper Blue

Why can't MINI USA refer to Purple Haze as Black-Eye Purple like everyone else

A bit of trivia ...

Before they finalized the original color names, here's what they were referred to by MINI USA:

Cosmos Black ...... New Moon
Solid Black .......... Tux
Electric Blue ........ Iceberg
Indi Blue ............. Cloud 9
Solid Gold ........... Jackpot
Silk Green ........... Oasis
Chili Red ............. Gotcha
Velvet Red .......... Burnin' Rootbeer
Pure Silver .......... Coin
Dark Silver .......... Haze
Pepper White ...... Nougat
Liquid Yellow ....... Nacho

British Racing Green was always British Racing Green.

An orange color called "Tazmania" was dropped ...
