Candy gold & candy starlight gold
« on: November 21, 2016, 10:28:39 PM »
There have been questions about candy gold and candy starlight gold.

I'm posting here pictures of 4 covers of the cb 500 four.
No further commend for now...

Which is the starlight gold?

No2 is definitely Candy Custom Gold, I'm fairly sure 1 & 3 are starlight Gold which leaves No4 being Candy Custom Gold, providing of course you've done a pair in each colour as TBH No4 and No3 look pretty much the same.

I've found Candy Custom Gold as it appeared on the K1 onwards to have much larger flakes of metallic and to be slightly more orangy, Starlight is more subdued IMO.

I am with you on this one Ken. Yes, the Candy Gold had bigger flakes and was a very rich gold that had a slight orange when the sun hit it.

I would say number 1 is starlight but, non are candy Honda gold.

So by your deducing Ken, my guess of No.1 could well be right.
But there again, I'm just wondering if they are in fact all the same colour ?

Well, rightly or wrongly I'm sticking with No.1, I don't want to be known as a Woman that keeps changing her mind  ;D ;D
