Hi all.......does anyone know of a good match for the Honda Light Ruby Red Paint as used on the early CB400f?
I bought a touch up pot from RS Paints via Amazon, having used them many times before.....and it's miles off, almost pink by comparison; I'm very surprised because RS Paints are normally dependable for a perfect match.
I've tried email......no response thus far....so, anyone know of a good substitute? it's only for a few tiny chips.
Mick.
Mick,
Take the side panel to your local car paint re-finishers. I use Rotherham refinishers, they will match it exactly to the side panel. I can't remember exactly but it was a rosso red can't remember what manufacturer.
They can make you up a rattle can if you are going down that road. If I remember I will have a look tonight.

If you only want to touch up a few tiny chips then a rattle can seems slight overkill.
I have to agree with the nail varnish route - they (apparently) come in about a zillion different shades and you even get a brush in there, although possibly a bit big for your needs.

Rosso red is a Ford Fiesta Mk2 colour, athough there may be other Rosso reds.
