Cb500 Four Jade Green paint ?

[mart]

Would anyone have a car paint code close to the Honda Cb500 KO  Jade Green ?

You could ask Menno. He might know of a close(ish) match.

They say they don't supply it outside EU, but I've seen it on ebay.

Pretty obvious, but RS paints? And don’t forget the black?

R.S. Bikepaints do do the Jade(Jet  ) Green but it's a candy 3-part system not metallic. (bluey metallic base-coat and a weird when you see it in the container browny looking candy coat)

That’s interesting. I believe the 500 Jade Green I have must have been done with that as there is, in a certain light, a brownish tinge to the green.

Unfortunately you cant see it in this photo, but as you say it definitely is there.

No PCR results as yet but my mate has just been tested +. Misery…..

[Sesman]

I lied, you can just make it out.

It's quite a cool effect in paint isn't it.

 A bit like the optical coating on camera lenses that don't impeed colour when you look through them, but looking obliquely across the surface then the coating colour becomes more prominent.

Clever in that if gives a modelling and 3rd dimensional effect on tanks etc with the curves accentuated in different lighting and viewing angle.

  I know, reckless. Two indicator stubs to weld on then they are off for chrome.

I remember when Menno did my K0 green paint that the base-coat was a blueish metallic. You see USA import bikes with badly sun faded green tanks and they fade to brown on the top .. No Visage comments please 

[Sesman]

Nope, welded.I have 4 sets, two of which are NOS from DS America. Deffo not screwed on.

I’ll take a photo, but currently bed bound with what may or may not be COVID….awaiting results.

Hi, Ken. I’m referring to the Stubs on the ears that the indicators fit on to.

Incidentally, it’s from Germany I can’t afford it.
