Ask Nurse Julie which Maybelline nail varnish shade is correct for the F1 red.
Hi all.......does anyone know of a good match for the Honda Light Ruby Red Paint as used on the early CB400f?I bought a touch up pot from RS Paints via Amazon, having used them many times before.....and it's miles off, almost pink by comparison; I'm very surprised because RS Paints are normally dependable for a perfect match.I've tried email......no response thus far....so, anyone know of a good substitute? it's only for a few tiny chips.Mick. Mick, Take the side panel to your local car paint re-finishers. I use Rotherham refinishers, they will match it exactly to the side panel. I can't remember exactly but it was a rosso red can't remember what manufacturer.They can make you up a rattle can if you are going down that road. If I remember I will have a look tonight.
Get your Mrs to go to Boots with your sidepanel. Women are supposed to be better at comparing shades of colours than blokes. That part of their brain is bigger apparently, at the expense of the reverse parking part.
Rosso red is a Ford Fiesta Mk2 colour, athough there may be other Rosso reds.
Ok, I've taken a look.I have the paint and I can send you a small amount for touch ups.But you have to realise it might not be 100% correct since your original paint might have faded a bit through time.I believe originaly Honda painted the red over a orange base. So you might have to touch in a bit of orange or white if the paint is chipped to the bare metal.Please send me your adress and I'll get it out to you.
