Honda also used orange as a base. Since it is much closer to red.
Candy ruby red over orange woild make a much darker colour.

They DEFINITELY did use white base on the CB350K3 . I have seen Ben's original tank (sun faded badly). Are you saying the official Honda paint bulletin from the early 1970's (attached) is incorrect?

Even Honda made errors in documentation - the clutch cable bracket on a 400 is listed as a brake part!
I'm guessing translation from Japanese to English is a potential for errors.

Just take a look at the tank pic in the previous post :D It's definitely original by the way before anyone queries it.

Just a comment here but any chance the 350 white referred to by Honda USA is a pearl white? that would give the reflective properties that Menno says they need without saying that Jo and Ben are wrong about the white base coat.

CB250/350K0/K1 (1968->1969) white is solid white. It's a cross between Ford Frozen White and Ford Diamond White. I mixed those two 50/50 % and it was spot on compared with a NOS part.
