Candy Antares red was also used on the CB750F1 and the CB400F2, and is still available, I know some wont agree, but it's one of Honda's best colours from the 70's:))

I don't think the Antares red is metallic but has a silver base and red top coat.Flake Apricot Red has a silver metallic base and red top coat.

Hi 'Billy'
John here from Caerphilly, my CB650Z was Candy Antares Red. If it's 'Candy' Antares Red it is definitely metallic.
You can get it from RS paint, it is a three part kit:
1. WB Honda 726 Silver Base
2. COB Honda 726 Candy Antares Red (it's a lacquer)
3. Clear Gloss Lacquer
I bought a new tank and side panels for the bike but could not get a new tail piece so I had to paint the old one. Not easy I can tell you. Probably the hardest thing I have ever tried to paint. One squirt too many and you have ruined it. Got a reasonable finish on the 3rd attempt, but each time you cock up you have to strip right down again as the silver base needs to show through the lacquer to get the right colour.
I've got a can of each! might be enough to do a tank...........just might

ps there might be a difference of opinion as to whether Candy paint is metallic, it is different from 'Flake' metallic but I would say that it is metallic. It is the same finish as the gold CB750K0/1/2. I think the correct term is Candy Apple finish.

The 750 k6 wasn't a candy it had a solid silver base and a semi translucent top coat (coloured lacquer) were as a candy has a silver metallic base and semi translucent top coat,Flakes are different again as they used larger metal flakes in the base coat and then a semi translucent top coat.All are then finished with clear top.
Candy colours use a metallic base
Metallic normally uses a solid base and then a metallic top coat although Valley green metallic is a little unusual as it has a silver metallic base and a semi translucent top coat
