Orange paint codes

(1/4) > >>

Laverdaroo:
Hi all,

would anyone happen to know what the paint code is for that really nice orange that honda did? Its probably been covered before but I'd like to start a tank for the 550 and after much discussion about colours; she likes the orange, I like the light blue. Couldn't come up with an agreement So,..... we had a good long chat about it, a fair compromise was met........ and its orange!  :o ;) ;D

I think it might even be metal flake or similar, I've only seen it in mags or on the net and presume it's a honda colour and I'm not going mad looking at a respray or similar?

NB: I quite like the orange anyway but don't tell her! ;)

Got a bad 500 tank in that colour in Glos if you want a spare

It's extremely metallic with big flakes in the paint.

Is that the same colour that I think NJ has her bike in? (just twigged I could have asked her!) DOH! ::)

Bryan, is the tank you have the one with the petrol cap flap on? I've seen so many bikes with so many swapped tanks  with this on and that on and with this being a new project for me this year and I'm not tuned in yet to the shapes, silhouettes and details yet?

If it is, what sort of money would you like for it as I've not really investigated this one yet to see what the yellow filler primer is hiding. I bought it and stuffed her in the back of the shed to jump straight onto once the 400 was done. I'm waiting for the tank to come back from the painters just now but using the time to gather bits for the project and finish off bits n bobs and shell be done.

I've managed to keep The Long Haired General away from it for about three weeks but she did hear me fire her up for the first time since the rebuild the other day which brought much excitement and hassling ;D
 I'm hoping to have her done and finished for the end of October ready for her birthday, shes had a rough year and this is hopefully going to be the start of good times for her. Shes going crazy with excitement, I love it!
AND, its meant me sly-ing out of the washing up for ages ;D ;D ;D ;D.........Winning! 8)

Cheers fella's

Bryanj:
Email me direct, its inmy profile, and i will get you a pic. Price is very negotiable as i have a few tanks, and it dont have the flap but a proper cap( if its there)

Nurse Julie:
No Roo, mine is Candy Custom Gold, or Custom Candy Gold, I can never remember which way round the words go. Mine is a standard UK 500/K1 colour.
