Representative Bullseye Part Numbers

Bullseye color codes consist of a 6-digit base color number followed by a 4-digit finish code. The treatment code for Rainbow Iridescent is “-0031,” for the 2 mm thin Black Opal it is “-0051,” and for Silver Iridescent Double Rolled it is “-0037.”

Typical part numbers include 001100-0031 (Clear, Standard Sheet) / 001101-0031 (Tekta Clear, Double Rolled) / 000100-0051 (Black Opal, Thin 2 mm) / 000113-0031 (White Opal), among others. In distribution settings, they are often referred to using abbreviated notations that extract only the last digits, such as “113-31.”
