Hi,

I want to paint my 550 in the deep metallic red that was used on the F2, can anyone confirm that the name is Candy presto red and where can I get some ? Struggling to find a supplier

Candy Presto red is correct for Honda cb 550 f2.
Piki - Diego has the correct decals.

No not yet, I wasn't sure that Candy presto red was correct, I will try them and there's a company in Grimsby that apparently have correct bike colours,

Thanks for the reply

I don't see that colour listed though Steve ...so unless somebody takes a part in there to scan then they won't be able to help.

RS

I suppose we kind of know that Paul but 500ml of candy coat = £72 (pre thinned Lechler Paint) from RS. From a paint factors this would be £20.40 in the same Lechler paint plus about two quid for the thinners as theirs is neat, un-thinned.
