There is also this but it's on silver base that is too coarse compared with the Honda paint.

Phoned Paints4U in Grimsby and he reckons he can help me if I take a panel in. Fingers crossed 'eh.   ;)

I've used Perfect Paints and Pigments. They do a candy gold, but not used hat colour. Had a problems once and he readily replaced it all.

I think with candy paint, like the flip paint I used, the more you put on, the colour changes. With the flip paint it got lighter the more you used. I had a nightmare of a job matching up a door that had dropped from its holder... even when you add the laquare it changes slightly again. good luck Ash.

  Fully understand and agree.. problem with the CCR supplied paint is that I did spray out cards with it with different numbers of coats but non of them looked anything like close to Honda Candy Gold. The guy at Paints4U in Grimsby reckons if we can find a close match on one of his swatches then I sould be able to match that by applying the desired number of coats. Got to admit Candy Gold is a PITA because I painted my.mates Ariel Square Four in Candy Ruby Red and it was quite straightforward. Very easy to get 'tiger-striping' with Candy Gold. I am not a quitter though.
