Topic: K0 candy blue-green

[Don R]

I know there are specialty honda paint suppliers, BUT does anyone know of a modern color equalivent to the K0 candy blue green? It is not an original numbers match bike, It was highly updated and I've returned it to close to original but it's just a fun rider to me. It's got a K4 836 with a jardine 4 into1 and Lester mags so a close match will be fine.

I don't know if there are any current equivalents (I'll keep my eyes peeled). 

Is this your color:

So, are you saying you don't wanna pay Don $149 [w/shipping] for his paint?

Try taking in a color picture sample or pay close attention to current cars on the road that you like,they have the paint. I once painted a 750 1982 Dodge Blue,saw a truck I think I liked and bought the color out of the book.Nice lacquer back then with DuPont 380S clear coat and lots of it,works great on bare aluminum also,the 380 S clear.Think its still around.

I found something pretty close to "Candy Antares Red" (K6 color) in Duplicolor off the shelf at an Autozone.  The pinewood derby car is duplicolor.  The sidecover is original paint from a K6:

Thanks Gamma, I own one that color too! I have a qt of house of color clear coat, that stuff is like glass, you get about 24 hours to sand-buff after that it is hard as heck. I had to strip some off a race car once and I had to scuff it with 80 grit to get aircraft stripper to soften it.
