Yamaha paint code problems!

[Adam Wood]

Hi guys, 

so i'm having a tough time trying to get my hands on some paint to do some touch up work on my bike (Yamaha 2016 YZF R125 ABS) but i'm doing my head in trying to find the correct paint and furthermore locating a place that i can get it from!

I have run my bikes VIN number to get the paint codes and their abbreviations which helps narrow down what i'm looking for, however i cannot seem to find the exact paint in many paint search galleries as if it doesn't exist. For example, the paint 'Mat Gray Metallic 3' (MNM3 - code:1278) just doesn't show in the galleries, however 'Mat Gray Metallic 2' does show! Is there any difference at all between these paints due to their one number difference? 

If i was to go to a Yamaha dealership what are the chances they would be able to locate the correct colours and be able to order them in? 

Any advice or recommendations would eb much appreciated. 

Thanks
