  1. Would anyone know what the colour is called and what the paint code is for the Senna MK III?
     
  2. I think you should find it on here. CCECA463-E808-4D7E-BA5A-FE9FC2BB66BC.jpeg

  3. Thanks, but which one out of that range of dark ones is it?
     
  4. There is a full list in the forum somewhere, someone posted them all a while back. It could be worth doing a search
     
  5. There’s different paint codes for the same colour for different paint manufacturers and the same colour can have different names, so go by code - not name.

    The paint codes were printed in later owners manuals - I’m not sure about 916 - have you an owners manual from that year to check?

    Unless you can access an owners manual that specifically states the code then I think you have to go by a process of elimination.

    • It’s definitely not 0009 Nero Metallic - thats black with multicoloured flakes like a disco.
    • I wouldn’t think it’s Nero Lucido 248514 - Lucido means shiny - I don’t think it’s metallic and the Senna is in bright light.
    • Nero dark 291501 is referred to as Nero Opaco elsewhere and in the Lechler list - Opaco means Opaque - basically a matte finish.
    So that leaves:
    • Nero Metallizzato - But that just means Black Metallic in italian.
    SALCHI 001
    LECHLER 03683 or DUC 03683 NEGRO (this is the older code hence the use of the term Negro which is an older Italian word for black that is no longer used for obvious reasons) Lechler now uses the code - DUC 291500 - matching the PPG code

    Which is also referred to as: PPG 291.500 in Ducati owners manuals.

    Below is another table giving the bikes various codes were used on in 2003.

    I have attached a PDF of all of the Lechler colour codes - you can see the above codes on there, as well as that there’s an even earlier colour code - A20 that’s also called Nero Metallizzato - which is why you can’t just go on name. Codes sometimes changed for the same colour when the ingredients changed so it’s possible that when everything switched to water based in the 90’s they couldn’t quite match the old colours exactly and used a new code to denote that change.
