It cost 600 € approxymatively 800 $ @ http://www.tanklackieren.de/

Trim is painted, it's not a decal

Flake sunrise orange, really at sunrise

Wow, that paint looks so deep. Very nicely done!

Can you PLEASE share the PPG code for this?

Delamare · « **Reply #7 on:** July 16, 2013, 12:39:28 PM »

I am not the painter, you can ask Menno Dek( tanklackieren@hotmail.de) which paint has exactly been used.
I bought original side covers, and sent it to him, to create the same paint.
With clear coat as you can see in surnrise there's no difference, and from a close view it is impossible to see it.
In fact it's a candy orange (ink) applied on flakes (2 layers)

Here's my Flake Sunrise Orange 74'. There seems to be many re-paint shades of this color...

Honda hit a home run with the K4 flake sunrise orange paint.

It returned again with the introduction of the K6, but it wasn’t available to dealers in the USA.

Pic below is from a German market K6 – note the unique tail light & turn signals:

Dream,

Is that original paint, or a re-paint? Trying to determine how far off my color is...

That German K6 photo was taken from my 750 color files and I have no idea if it’s original paint or not. *Sometimes* you can spot a repaint if the painter omitted painting the “black tab” on the left side cover. K1 to K6 factory paint has the “black tab” present as in this example:

Popular color. Used on the K2, K3 and K4 and F bike also in the 750's. Here is my stock K3 and a couple others

Johnie · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:13:55 AM »

That is a pristine paint job there man. Love it...my K4 orange is still the original paint. My side covers are excellent, but the top of my tank is faded. Decals are very good on mine so opted to stay with the original tank...but you got me thinking there. Just a beautiful job.

Wow love the color. Definitely saving this pic.

lwahples · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:37:10 AM »

Bike looks super! How much prep had to be done on the tank? That's the color I'm shooting for.Bought some nice side covers,just need to save up for tank paint.

SohRon · « **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2013, 11:41:00 AM »

So, does anyone have a formula for this color? I'm thinking of going this route and would appreciate any info.

Can you PLEASE share the PPG code for this?

There is no code, its a candy finish, basecoat {Silver} , color {orange} then clear {don't forget the flake}, you need a skilled painter to apply it as the top coat color {orange} changes with every coat, it takes a skilled eye to get it perfect like the bike in this thread...

74750k4 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2013, 09:13:08 PM »

You hear the Orange Crush can color is it. Here's that, and a couple of repaint jobs... all different... any thoughts?

I've got no problem with paint and body perfection.

Maybe I can order a paint chip and have my painter match it. I'll try emailing the guy on this thread.

Just saw Johnny's post. That should help out a bunch. I think having white cb450 tank decals would look better against this color over the black decals.

...think I bought a K2 gas tank in CandyGold from this guy 2 Years ago, decals was painted too, was his name Menno ?
The CandyGold was much darker and I sandblasted the gastank ~2weeks ago to get the real CandyGold.

The side cover shown is part of the paint project in France I received from the original poster. Orange Crush doesn't have much, if any, sparkle flakes at all I don't think. Seems a lot of current repaint projects have excessive flakes/sparkle added. House of Kolor Tangerine formulas tend to produce a more amber color that has less orange to it.

So Hi, nice to see work I did back on this forum. Thanks Georges for posting it. (merci bien)

If I can help out with orange flake questions, I'm happy to oblige. I've read the recipy and I have to say ist is difficult to compair. I use grams not pints.

The trick is doing it a lot. The whole deal with candy is that to get to a final matching result there are many different possibilities. For instance: If you take 50 grams of clear coat and one would add say 3 grams of candy concentrate one would need more layers to get to the same colour as when one uses 6 grams. (but not twice as many, it isn't that simple)
In this paricular excample you start with a silver base. But with other colours like candy gold you would already start with a gold metallic base and then top it of with a brownish ink concentrate. If you see it being painted you understand what's going on and why it is one of the most difficult paintjobs to do.

Your guy did a great job. Here is my pride and joy miss her already. Recently sold to another forum member.

I really need to update that thread as I learned quite a few tricks and it is a little dated.

Not me, James Knowles in Chattanooga, TN does this for CB750s (his speciality) as well as other bikes. He can match paint very well!

Puntas13 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 06, 2014, 07:04:29 AM »

I recently stripped the rattle can black paint job off my bike. I was a little sad when i realized that the bike was once sunrise orange. The paint job sure is purdy.
