That old Candy Starlight Gold Chestnut again !
AshimotoK0:
I want to have a go at painting a 500K0 paint set in Candy Starlight Gold.. then I will probably be hanging up my spray guns for a bit, as all of my bikes are painted now, once I have clear-coated my CB250RSA.
I have got a couple of paint companies keen to help me match the Candy Starlight gold. They both asked me for a Honda code though .. which I know is meaningless .. or is it? I typed in the code for my CB250RSA Hawiian Blue and as if by magic there was a paint company selling it under that code. Maybe by the late 1970's/early 1980's the codes became more meaningful. (see the attached .pdf for Honda codes)
Problem is nobody seems to recognise the Starlight Gold code. (ie KC is for the CB500K0)
The best I have to go on is this pic below that Oddjob (Ken) posted.
Does anyone have a spare panel to loan me please? ... I will pay postage costs both ways BUT please not one off a bike .. just a spare if anyone has one.
Ken would have been all over this post if he was still contributing!

Ash, many years ago when RS were in Bradford(i think) i called in with a gold side panel and they told me they could not tell the difference between the two golds! We both know there is. I do have a nos tank but dont know which one!
