500 tank by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr



Lines are 3 mm & 2 mm thick - can't say it's like the original for concourse purposes others here might chip in with whats wrong.

I left it to the painter, I'm happy with how it looks, only person I need to please is me. Hope it helps.
I know nothing about the various Honda Colours - I asked for a nice looking high gloss black.

AshimotoK0:
Flavio the original poster PM'd me but I can't really help him with a match for Candy Jade (Jet) green. Menno did my 500K0 ages ago and it was a bluish metallic basecoat with a green candy top coat + clear coat over that. Not an easy colour to paint I would reckon.

I dare say a paint factors that has a spectrophotometer could scan a NOS part and get a metallic paint close (ish) match but he's in Italy and so can't point him to anyone. 

Primadonna:
Hey guys!

Thank you both so much for your help!

If I don't find another reference for the lines, I'll do them 3 and 2 mm.
@Ash, thanks for the reference. It surely would be complicated. I'll try to find a pantone reference that is closest to the original, as it would be risky to paint like the original.

Cheers,
Flavio

This is my tank befor painting I believe it was the original paintwork - re-painted due to a bit of a dent in the tank plus a side panel needed replacing. The first 500 I sat on was black & I liked the colour.
