CB350F Flake Matador Red touch-up paint?
« on: October 17, 2025, 09:40:37 AM »
What are you using as touch-up paint for Flake Matador Red on a '73 CB350F?
I need only dabs to touch up a few tiny chips like the ones in the attached pic.
A quick googling finds this https://www.ebay.com/itm/361766111416 but it's in Germany and more than I need (and who knows what the new tariffs will do). Anyone have experience with this vendor?
Or any modeling paint that's the right red, even without the flake?
Other alternatives?
Thanks

Its very hard to touch up a candy colors. Its a metallic basecoat ,candy midcoat with flake on suspension then clear on top.

If you lived closer I have a couple ounces of the midcoat you could use and get very close
