Paint disaster / new colour
beardylondon:
Thanks Julie.
From looking at CB550 1975 colours on RS paint website, Candy Sapphire Blue came up, maybe it's a mistake, as I can't find any online apart from the attached CB500 and a 550 which is watermarked

But does anyone know, did Honda make CB550 in this blue, with the 1975 tank graphics?
Bryanj:
I think so for the USA,
To frther explain he paint code question, which is asked probably once a month, Honda never used industry standard paint codes for their colours plus most of the metallics are 3 stage "candy" colours which have a metallic base, transparent colour(which changes depending on depth of coats) and topped with a laquer. All of these were and are isocyanate paints requiring a lot of special gear to spray safely.
Appologies if my previous answer was terse but i do get fed up of answering the same question time and agaiin when the search function works

Nurse Julie:
No idea to be honest, USA colours and tank decal specs are a mystery to me but, as it's been sat D many times before, you can't trust everything you read on tinternet. You could ask on the USA forum, but even then, you may get conflicting answers.
I'm assuming it's a USA model and not an European Market import? as their colours / models etc were different again.
