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

I went in there and got you 0.5l of paint Johnny. ...this thins to 1 litre .

He scanned my NOS panel and he did a few passes and showed me the paint chip it came out as and pretty close so I bit the bullet and bought the paint. I will do a spray out card with it and clear coat it to see how it comes out. Then I can arrange shipping unless Ian has anyone from Hull visiting.

Dave ..on the Parakeet yellow he would need a NOS part to scan. To be honest I could get the guy in Hull to do that. (the guy in Hull is little bit more approachable  ;))

The aerosol I bought was the dark blue for the centre section of my CB250RS tank.

The paint they sell is Lechler ... same make as RS Bikepaint

Thanks very much for that Ash! Just send a PM with cost and payment details and I will settle up.

Hi Johnny .. I will do a spray out card today..then work out the best way to get it to you. Bit dodgy to post but could do it container within another container I guess.

I did a 'spray-out' card today and 2K cleared coated it and it looks pretty good.... I would definitely go with it Johnny.  I don't think you could paint an individual part and expect to get an exact match with a NOS one but most pro painters insist on doing the full paint set and not individual parts anyway. Honda parts varied enormously anyway on some paint colours.. I had a few NOS black metallic CD175A sloper parts and every one was a different shade and very noticable.

Johnny4428:
Thanks very much Ash for going to the bother with that. I know what you mean regarding colour shade, I have seen various shades or versions of this colour on the web, but I am more than happy to go along with your recommendations in the hope of achieving something like the original Honda colour. I will be seeing Ian over the weekend as it’s our local big weekend for all things vintage vehicle wise. And I will get back to you regarding collection or whatever alternative. Thanks again!
