550 Super Sport Shiny Orange

[Andrew-S]

Is the CB550 Super Sport orange, a candy paint - a friend is painting his, so asking for him?

Thanks, Andrew

It's not going to be a standard bike and he's considering his paint options at the moment, but RAL2005 looks close enough.

Lovely colour and nice paint job!

[davefirestorm]

Yes very pleased with it,yet to put it back on bike

[Johnny4428]

Is that RS paint?

[davefirestorm]

Because I asked him to😀It’s how I want it to look,looks better when sun shines on it

I’m about to paint my side panels in the Ford pearlescent orange the Focus RS is painted in.

If it’s any good I’ll do the tank in it.

Like Orange on a car or bike,I always yearned for a Jota I guess that’s why😁 Had to wait few years to get a Jota and didn’t like it lol. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

P3. of the CB550F, F1 partslist http://www.honda4fun.com/pdf_parts_list/pdf_spac550/CB550F_F1/CB550F_F1-1.pdf:
Flake sunrise orange Honda code: R-2C-F,
Shing orange Honda code: YR-26
For a perfect matching alternative, you'd better contact Menno.

Yup Delta, but those codes mean nothing to paint suppliers

To Menno they do. Also I remember I've seen those codes in a list and in the other column what that specific paint manufacturer (cans) had to offer as a replacement. I seem to remember it was a German manufacturer with a short name, something like two letters, but for the moment I can't recall it.

I believe it was RH https://www.spraydosen-shop.de/spray-can-water-basecoat-honda-bike-motocycle-13f-turquoise-cb550-four-metalic-water-basecoat
But... I'd contact Menno.

[Bryanj]

Maybe so and even to RS paints in UK but my meaning is that to a big paint supplier like ppg for example they mean nothing whilst the codes on cars do
