Light Ruby Red
JEZZAIRONBRIDGE:
Question sure to have been asked previously.
1977 400/4.
Have prepared Tank and Side Panels for painting.
Local Bodyshop unable to obtain mixing formula for Light Ruby Red.
Can anyone advise of nearest matching Solid Red colour.
Appreciate help.
Bryanj:
Honda colours dont have a standard match, they can buy paint from RS

This is from the US forum. I have seen this posted multiple times.
If you need varnish blue.
Its a 1995 Toyota color code 8A1
Its what I used on my bike

That’s interesting this should just come up - I’m just about to start the process of re-painting my 75 CB400F the “Light Ruby Red”. Searching through the previous forums & information it seems that Honda “Milano” Red is a close match - I’ve just bought a touch up can of this to do some comparisons. General consensus it’s a one step colour rather than vase coat/top coat process - can anyone confirm maybe?

Yes. I sprayed mine with rattlecans, just primer then Honda Milano Red topcoat finished with petrol resistant clearcoat. Not a professional job but the colour is good.
