Title: cb750f1 side panel colour.
Post by: Graeme77 on November 08, 2015, 01:20:47 PM

 How were these finishes from new? I have a feeling I read somewhere that they were a sort of satin metalic charcoal. Is that right?

The RS Paints web site says the panels were Phantom Black, which from another source seems to have a Honda colour code of NH-43.

Mine were grey from new, when I restored the bike I matched it to some Halfords paint, I'll have a look and see if I can find which one, found it I used Ford Graphite Grey.
Just found a link to when I painted them http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,24344.msg249978.html

Thanks folks, that-ll do me.
Im not bothered about them being exactly right but didnt want to paint them black or go too light with the grey.
