Honda Paint 'Paints4U' in Grimsby

(1/3) > >>

AshimotoK0:
I noticed that Paints4U now list quite a few of our bike colours. Some of the descriptions are way  off ...e.g Burnish Blue for 400/4 and not Varnish.  Listed as 1970 !

I have only had 1K base-coat paint, that has been matched to a car code, from them before but their aerosols have really good paint delivery (better than RS Bikepaint) and much, much cheaper. The paint quality is good too. Plus, over a certain spend delivery is free.

They also do some Honda colours as 2k in a can that I have not tried. It looks like it's a ProXl make of aerosol which is a really good product. Personally I use Spraxmax 2K (German company)  for 2K in-a-can clear-coat but friends have use ProXl 2K clear and reported it as being really good

Having just checked the website Ash it appears they have a lot of Honda colours available although not Parakeet Yellow😕! They do however have the VFR red. The painter I use told me the Honda red used on the VFR is a very difficult colour to match so hopefully thru have nailed it. Good to know it is available.
Thanks for the heads up👍.

I am actually going to go in there this week for them to scan the blue on the 250RS tank centre section Dave. So I will ask them. When I spoke to the owner a few years back he seemed very knowledgeable and helpful too. Then we will go to Cleethorpes for an ice cream !
I normally go to APS for paint in Hull but he's away for a fortnight.

Don’t suppose they would have that Freedom Green Metallic Ash?

I could take my NOS panel today and see what they make of it. APS said it was too curved to get a scan that was over 90% match
