If it’s any good I’ll do the tank in it.

Flake sunrise orange Honda code: R-2C-F,
Shing orange Honda code: YR-26
For a perfect matching alternative, you'd better contact Menno.

Yup Delta, but those codes mean nothing to paint suppliersTo Menno they do. Also I remember I've seen those codes in a list and in the other column what that specific paint manufacturer (cans) had to offer as a replacement. I seem to remember it was a German manufacturer with a short name, something like two letters, but for the moment I can't recall it.

But... I'd contact Menno.

I guess if you want exact as per factory you’d need to compare it to an original source I guess Menno has access to such a source? Guy that did mine was shown an image of what I reckoned was correct colour but he then showed me different amounts of metalflake I could have and I chose what I have had done,not factory match but what I want😁

Is the CB550 Super Sport orange, a candy paint - a friend is painting his, so asking for him?
Thanks, Andrew
Shiny orange is a straight paint. No metallic, no candy.

Thanks for answering the original question Menno.
Hope you're well,

... shiny orange must be the F1 colour, bit of a misnomer as it was anything but shiny IMO.That's why it is Shing Orange. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=152434.0

... one of the worst colours that Honda did in that period IMO. Of course that's just my opinion, others may love the colour but it never appealed to me at all...Personally I hate the color orange (in general) so much, that I've banned it from my bike altogether but for the turn idiot light. Front indicators are clear now, rear indicators are red and the side reflectors are replaced by the crosshead the models exported to France had. So, it is still quite original. :)

To be honest, the only orange bike I'd have would be a Jota. ???The only time I'm happy to see anything Italian (car, bike, clothes, people) is orange, as in on fire burning!

Another orange bike that I use, make and colour.

The 400F2 in Yellow was much unloved when it was in the showrooms.. and now everybody drools over them in that colour.Actually, a friend of mine is about to sell his yellow CB400F.
