There were more than two colours used, so do you have one in mind? There are a couple of paint speciality places such as Marble Motors and VMR paints that would have the paint. It is a two step process requiring some skill level for proper application.

See my list of bikes below for two of the four colours available as those are the correct Honda colour names.

I’m not in America. The model was built from 1972 to 1974. The fourth colour was a silver and quite rare with the red and green the most common I believe.

I've used VMR for paint with good results (usually PPG or Dupont)

I don’t think the silver was available in the US. My ‘74 received an objectionable to me blue color at some point. Don’t know if Glory Blue Black is blue or black. Not really a fan of a black paint job ( just not interesting to me). So I am seriously considering a silver metallic when I get around to painting my bike.

Well there you go the full graphics package for the silver paint job and it's in Canadian $$, so about $70 US plus shipping for the whole kit. The silver is a very attractive colour I think as an option, yet I have seen mostly the red bikes which was the #1 choice I feel.
