Hello
I am trying to confirm the colour code for the Early Honda's C77 and C92's ad possibly C200. It seems this colour was popular outside of the US; Canada, Australia and UK
Navy Blue / PB-1 Dark blue . Have not been able to find a match any where.
Does anyone know the appropriate codes to take to a paint shop ?
regards
Greg
Navy Blue
Re: Navy BlueI use Dupont IMRON code number 63203UH better referred to as "FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA" blue here in the US. ..............lm
Dark BlueI dont think the future farmers is the same colour
Is this the future farmers? http://www.gogocycles.com/1965-honda-dr ... -sale.html The colour I am looking at seems darker http://kraftor.jp/motor/honda-dream-cs7 ... -cs71-3-2/ and a benly https://images1.bonhams.com/image?src=I ... osizefit=0 seems outside the US the colour was darker regards Greg
Re: Dark BlueThe color I offered is what I've used here in the USA for years.
I think you should be able to go to a paint shop and get any color blue that will satisfy your needs. ...........lm
Hi,
I would buy a NOS painted part in the package in the colour you want and scan it by a paint dealer, that's how I do it. I did paint a CB72 blue, I bought the headlight shell in the package for the colour, works !, like Ed says, this way you can make the paint that you need. Remember, when looking at an original bike today (original paint), you look into the past ! Ed lived in that time....... Jensen assembly of Japanese motorcycles requires great peace of mind (Pirsig)
I got the inside of my C72 chain case matched and they came up with a Volkswagen color. The code is "Indienblau" LL5M from HMG paints in the UK.
