Sources for Candy Gold Paint

AshimotoK0:
Other than rip-off RS Bikepaint has anyone sourced Honda Candy Gold paint? I have a '71CB175K5 to paint. It is Honda's original Candy Gold, later Hondas were painted Candy Starlight Gold and Candy Custom Gold. I sourced some paint from CCR in Sheffield a year or so back ..described as Candy Starlight Gold but it was nothing like Starlight, Custom or Original Honda Gold. I asked the guy today if he could do any better but he tells me has illness in his family so cant assist for a while. The Starlight Gold was for a 500 Tank. I would be happy with Candy Gold Custom for the 175K5 as I compared a NOS fork ear with a NOS 500 Candy Custom fuel tank and it was a pretty close match. Even without clear coat included, RS Bikepaint will be £150 for not a lot of paint ..not good if I cock it up first time. Anyone got any ideas. I dont think you can scan candy paint.

Hi Ash

I have just found this but it’s still expensive at £41 per can , not sure if it’s a good match but I would certainly try a car paint instead there must be a very close match somewhere.

Hi Ash same supplier but only £15.00 ,at that price you could do a test piece it  might be worth a try it might be a good match you never know.

I used these when I brought some `flip paint` for a Mini a fews year back, price is good too.
Do you have an auto paint suplier near you, if so they should be able to do a close match and then put in a spray can for you, or a tin for you to put in a gun.

I tried years ago to get a match from the same man who managed to match the Boss Maroon Mettallic for me, nothing comes anywhere close, only the original 3 pack.
RS when in Bradford said they only had one gold but cantvremember which
