Colour scheme suggestion for my tank & side panels?
Bryanj:
I had a metallic black 500 back in 76, the man that at the time sprayed all the co-op funeral cars that got damaged did mine and he had to mix the paint as it didnt exist then
Athame57:
Back in 1986 I did my CB250RS like this, black wheels, hubs and spokes, and non standard dark blue tank and coachwork. A lot of people liked it. ;D
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Certainly looks different all pretty much black. I think it was a period thing as my chrome chain guard has been painted matt black many years ago.
K2-K6:
Looking through 400 four photos, and realise it's quite a task to find any schemes that you'd say "yes, they've nailed that" over and above the standard paint from Honda.
It's a tank shape that has a form and simplicity that stands out for those attributes, not taking much graphics and stripes easily. Often just looks uncomfortable, with most seeming to detract from original elegant simplicity.
Some colour input from other bikes that may attract you Ted

K2-K6:
The red example leaves alone the tank form in side view (it's signature shape) while using more CBX colours and centre stripe, along with gold pinstripe accents that could go with your wheels, but very thin though.
The gold example fits in with the colour contrast you've already got between frame and wheel finishes, and so doesn't compete with a simple two colour contrast (gold/yellow and blue opposing each other in colour terms) in overall terms.

More towards one of the original honda colours with a graphics twist in neutral black, possibly satin finish to acentuate the gloss frame finish.

Similar to above but on a 400 this time.
