Quote from: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on January 15, 2023, 09:28:49 AMDoes anyone list the RAL number for the Honda colours? If you have that anyone can mix the paint to match?RAL is just a colour chart. Most Honda paint is a build up of layers to get the correct colour starting with a base coat. The only paint code that honda still use is NH-1 Black.

RS paints use Lechler paint, my local paint shop told me any Lechler supplier should be able to make up anything RS can supply. He was struggling to make up Antares red for me until i said RS can make it up. Onto the computer and job done and far cheaper than RS.

Who was your local supplier ? ... worth knowing about. I know that all of the UK based painters I have used have never used RS because it's simply too expensive for them to make a decent profit. Their paint is Lechler but the clear isn't. Buggers tried to sell me basecoat for Honda Scarlet solid colour ?? at £21 for a 400ml aerosol .. when I quizzed them it's just white primer. I mixed my own paint in the end with 50% RAL signal red and 50% Kawasaki Vivo Red and it's a perfect match to what they sell.

I had told them the Honada paint name and given them the old paint code and they were unable to find anything from either of them and we had got down to looking at paint chips. It was only when i mentioned that RS did it was when he told me they use Lechler the same as them and trom there on it was no problem and spray cans were filled, They are only a small place and have a fb page. https://www.facebook.com/autopaintnorthern/ AutoPaint Northern Phone: 01924 410125 4B Union Rd, Liversedge WF15 7HW
