As someone who works with paints on a daily basis I can say that all providers of these 70's lookalike paints have their 'problems'.

In Germany there is RH. It is a company with a very large product range.
Their base colours are ok. No problem whatsoever with that.
Their candys though are very watery. Very difficult to paint with - especially when you work with them the first time.
So if someone would want to work with their candy paint I would recommend to take some distance and do very thin layers to prevent paint running. I have no experience with their service - cannot say anything about that.

In the Uk there is RS. They also have a large product range.
My experience is that their paint is not very consistent. My advise is when using to paint a probe to see how the paint reacts.
I have no experience with their service either - cannot say anything about that

Now from  my point of view I don't like to work with either ones product. I mix my own candies which has a lot of advantages for me.

My remark on the quality of the paints from RS is in comparisment with other paints available. If RS were my only choice, I would work with that.

In the end I am trying to have a bit of fun and creativity in what I do. Most surely I could also do this with RS paint.
But imagine I had to buy every colour for a project like this:...

Very nice work there Menno. I bet masking up was great fun
Credit where credit is due, you did an amazing job on my CB250RSA paint especially considering the Honda blue metalic was so difficult to replicate (I think you had to use a Porsche base colour and probably explains why my bike is sooooo fast )

Yes indeed! Nice display of different Honda colours there! Actually might work with matching side panels?😂

I'd have that on mine I think that looks fantastic If I'm honest
