I got the side covers painted this morning for comparison to the original paint on the tank.(Tank in the background is untouched original) I am using 1983 Toyota color code 8A1. It was said to be a perfect match to Honda Varnish Blue. Looks like it is spot on to me. now some minor bodywork on some dings in the tank and get some color on it. I have the decals ready to go as well.

Wow, looking amazing! Full paint booth eh? Are you in the business or is this serious hobby territory?!?

I do want to pick your brain on ”basic” paint setup. I work for a PPG paint distributor but I’m not in the paint side of the business. Would like to know what your preferred products are for the bikes I find there’s so many different options in the professional paint world it’s hard to know where to start!
