paint codes available here http://www.motorcycleproject.com/motorcycle/text/lubrtech.html

Quote from that website:

"To summarize, there are no color code numbers with which to mix paint for Hondas made before 1982. Even Lubritech's numbers are merely their part numbers, not part of a color system. Honda didn't use anything we recognize in the U.S. as a standard automotive color code scheme until 1982. This schedule merely offers you the Lubritech company's (now defunct) part numbers for the paint products, and should give you an idea of how certain shades were achieved, as to basecoats and so on. Unfortunately, specific colors cannot be determined from these part numbers."

Both Kevin D and Bob Wessner have purchased paint from Don and were pleased with how it turned out. I just bought paint from him and will be painting my bike soon.

Thank you all for your answers.
I have contacted Don one week ago, but I did not receive an answer until yet,...that's
why I asked here.
I try to contact him again, it seems he is the one and only source for the paint.

thanks again,

Keep trying, definately worth the $$. The painter that Kevin and I used had a high regard for Don's kits. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome on mine.
