colour of cb750 k7

Hi to all! I was wondering if someone can help me about the colour of my CB 750 K7. I am on the begining of restoration of my k7. It's colour is "candy alpha red" and colour code is easy to find R-9C-S. Problem is I can't make that colour by it's code or name in shops and I tried many manufacturers like spies hecker or standox. Maybe that colour changed name or code. Thank's and sorry for my bad English.

The Honda colour code means something only to Honda, It is NOT an industry standard code and the only way to get the paint is to have it matched.
I know of a firm in the UK that has done this and one member on the US site but that wont help you as the paint is a 3 pack (Silver Base; transparent colour; laquer) type and is usualy made from "Nasties" that require face mask (air fed) and ventilated paint booth tp use so cant be shipped easily

Thank's a lot my UK friend. I thought that the colour code is invented as a help to mix a colour buy that code when time comes for refinishing some of painted parts. If it is not so, can it be that I am the first one to mach that particular colour? To refraze, can someone tell me "candy alfa red" with it's original honda code R-9C-S equals, or it is most similar with "that and that" colour in ppg or max mayer or some other manufacturer, or some other way to buy it's original paint, conventional or water solvent base, in Europe ofcourse. Thank's again.

In short No, the paint people that have spent the time to sort out a match are unlikely to give you a formula to buy it somewhere else!

Try asking RS paints in Bradford England, i believe they advertise in Classic Bike, as its EU perhaps there is a way for them to ship hazardous goods but it will not be cheap. They also have an on-line order and i believe they do aerosols

Hi I have just been on the RS paint web site and they do your colour.
It's a 3 part paint and it is not cheap. It has a lot of languages on the site so this mite help you out.
It all so means that they can send it to you as why would they do all the languages !!.

www.rsbikepaint.com  is the web site.

Hope this helps Paul
