Hi all,
New to the UK forum but been on the US one for some time.
I have recently finished the restoration of a CB400 4 F1 and moved onto my latest restoration a 78 CB550 K3 (77 model by the frame/engine No's). I am looking for any information on the paint (Excel Black) I believe, has anyone found a match for this if so have you got a paint code.

Regards,

paul G:
RS have phoned me today and they don't do it any other suggestions.

I have a set of pannels off a 78 550k3 that was black, originally came with Honda transfers on the tank and stickers on sidepannels with 'supplied by' stickers from a dealer in little leaver, Bolton. I'm doubtfull as to it being a respray so I think black was an original coulor.

paul G:
Log book states black but that could have been changed but as far as I am aware these are the Honda details

1977 CB550 K3
Engine#: CB550E-2000001-
Frame#: CB550-2000007-
Colors: Excel Black
Remarks: tank stripe red w/gold; gold side cover emblem, "550 Four K"
