Many thanks for all of that, very much appreciated.......Paul; if you are able to find out which shade of Rosso Red you used that would be better still......I'm not sure if we have a paint supplier round here who would be able to mix and supply in a can, but no harm in looking so thanks for the prompt.

Mick.


P.S. RS Paints did get back to me, I sent them all the photo detail they required and in fairness they were very helpful in that they offered to re mix some paint specifically...the downside is, they want one of my side panels which I'm not going to risk losing..(I would if I had a perfect spare)

Menno:
 I'll see what I've got on the shelf.
I might have some 400 red in the shop...

Thanks Menno, I'd be very happy to buy a small pot, just enough for touch ins if you do have any.

Mick.

Menno:
Ok, I've taken a look.

I have the paint and I can send you a small amount for touch ups.
But you have to realise it might not be 100% correct since your original paint might have faded a bit through time.
I believe originaly Honda painted the red over a orange base. So you might have to touch in a bit of orange or white if the paint is chipped to the bare metal.

Please send me your adress and I'll get it out to you.

As Manno says. If it is only for touch ups I would take the tank and get the paint matched.
You must have a supplier neer you. Go to a crash repaire garage and ask them who locally supplies their paint.
