Where to By Paint
« on: June 05, 2007, 03:16:59 PM »
HI, Gang.
I've been looking for a place to by Varnish Blue paint for my 1975 CB400F.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I still have the original tank and side panels with the paint.  However, I am wary of taking this faded sample to be matched.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Tanks,
Rudy :-[

Any paint shop that can match it should be able to mix up a number a samples patches of different shades or hues of the matched blue.
