Candy is one of those things that really cannot be matched from an original side cover because it simply is affected by the UV fading over time. The Freedom Green and some other colors started going brown as they aged because of the formulation. Today's paints don't have that same fade characteristic.
Candy paints are incredibly tough to match, that is why it takes someone who is extremely talented to even come close to matching them. The silver base color has to be laid down correctly and then the flake. The stock flake jobs are very hard to re-create. If this is a flake. The factory did not sand them as much as they are done today. There are some very good kits and often are as close as one can get to recreated the paint job.
The problem with candy paint is you have to build the layers evenly and you have to lay them down so you don't get striping. If your candy is too dark then it is tough to build the layers to match the color. The kits tend to have this worked out.
Your clear is on top of the candy so you have that to deal with the gloss not being totally there...
The only way to duplicate the candy is to practice doing it and keeping close records of what you tried/did and adjust until you have the end results you want.
The Flake Sunrise Orange can be created using HOK candy concentrate with the right size flake and the silver base.
The Candy Jade Green can be done, but you are probably going to have to experiment a lot with various candy concentrates to get the color right. It is going to be far less costly to buy a kit from VMR or some of the other Honda Paint kit makers who have done that legwork. Depends on how good a painter you are and how meticulous you are will determine if you can use a kit and achieve the desired results. Body shops charge far more for candy paints and sometimes they tell you they can do it and then their results are not quite right to your eye when compared with photos and they will not redo it without charging you. Thus, the nature of candy paints with their transparency which gives the depth of color as well as the reflective and other colors that can be picked up in flakes varies by the paint pigments and how your eye perceives the blend...
Go search for the Sunrise Orange paint thread where you see the experiments shared and the results one of the members had with coming to a Flake Sunrise Orange paint he felt was accurate from everything he had available.
The best example to work from is a NOS cover or tank that hasn't been faded. Then there are the new production CB750 tank and side covers from Yamina in Japan. They are excellent. The price of an excellent condition tank or those made by Yamina of zinc steel (I think they are made from zinc alloyed steel) has far better rust prevention than the steel used in original tanks. By the time you have a professional painter do the paint work, then you are not that far off what Yamina asks for their tanks and side covers.
