Paint disaster / new colour
AshimotoK0:
You have to be careful with those codes ... for instance a CB250K2 candy gold and white tank will have a code which is not an individual colour but a code for the combined colour scheme.
Technically I think Bryan is correct .. Honda did supply those touch up cans with bikes but didn't really supply paint for refinishing parts ...they farmed it out to 3rd parties and often their quoted 'codes' are meaningless. I was lucky with my CB250RS .. maybe 'cos it'sa 1980's model and perhaps used on other automotive products.
As I say Menno is the real expert here....I am just a novice trying to paint some of my bikes which will never financially justify the cost of a pro paint job.
Worth comparing these guys with RS on price. https://www.rapidpaints.co.uk/search?q=PB-3C-C

Thanks so much

Here are the 1970's Paint Bulletins that Honda issued where they had farmed out paint supply to Lubri-tech in the USA. Note ...no codes given.

The yellow used on the 400/4, Parakeet Yellow doesn't have any code and that was the official response I got from Honda Japan a couple of months ago.
Bryanj:
Beardy what i said was there are NO INDUSTRY STANDARD codes, try asking a paint supplier to mix a colour from the code list you showed
