Good to know, I just purchased some of that for my engine, but haven't used it yet.

Dupli-color is the brand name and they are owned by Sherwin Williams Paint company.

Honda Powersports Cloud Silver paint was the original color used on many of these engines. It is still available but the spray cans are fairly pricey today.

I use this on my engines, with excellent results. They also make a “filler primer” that makes a nice base coat......

My sense is this Honda Powersports Cloud Silver is not manufactured by Honda. I've been to the local Honda dealer and he looked at me like I had two heads when I asked about paint. Seems there are so many more options in the US than in Canada.

honda power equipment  nh35m cloud silver paint

08707-NH35M is the part number they use for this touch -up paint.
It is a small can...

Do a search on Google. The MC dealer typically doesn't carry it. The Honda outboard boat motor and generator dealer may.  The power equipment dealers are a different branch of the company... different ordering system...
