Who has Flake Matador Red in spray cans? Or has a good lead to match? Color-rite does not have it. I know it has a silver base coat. Is headlight shell black always or match the red?

All the headlight shells I've seen are black...

On the 750's only the 69-70 were body color.

I matched the Matador red...as close as a match can be...

Used Titanium sliver base and Candy red from SEMI.

SEMI
is that available in Hobby stores for models?

No its available from an automotive paint store....

Should have added that it was not spray paint

I used Dupli-Color (Truck, Van, & SUV) T199 Cherry Red over a base of Dupli-Color White.

3 coats of primer, sand lightly, 2 coats of white, 3 coats of red, then 3 coats of clear.

I think its remarkable we used 2 different systems and arrived...least from the pictures...at the exact same shade...

I haven't used his paint, but many other sohc4 members have and were pleased with it.

I was thinking the same thing. The side covers are orginal paint.

I did get cheap and applied pin striping I bought at Auto Zone.

Do advanced search on ebay seller andy.cepok then search site for your color.
He has many early Honda colors for sale ready mixed. I have recently purchased a can of Flake Matador Red for my 350f but I've yet to use it. Just need to get all the parts ready first.

I have finally gotten round to using Flake matador Red from andy.cepok and it's an excellent match.
