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

The 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.......

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.

The bottom layer of paint on my US spec 1960 C77 is much lighter...

Thanks for the responses

I did try and get some paint matched but the surface of the battery cover was curved and the scanning machine didnt like it.

G Man thanks for your help and nice job on the paintwork! Is that a two pack paint you opted for?
