Painting colour for cb 750
« on: March 14, 2006, 07:14:24 AM »
Hello all. I'm trying to paint my bike, but I would like to paint it in the original colour. I've searched in a lot of Honda pages, but I can not find the name of the colour and the Honda colour code, to prepare the painting correctly.
The bike is a CB 750 K8 (1978) american model, and has a colour that I can only describe as "dark brown". If any of you knows the name or the code of the colour, it would be great. Thank you.

Start here to get to the original colour:  http://www.motorcycleproject.com/motorcycle/text/lubrtech.html  (it's in the "Paint FAQ")

When you know which colour you need, look up some of the sites in the FAQ that say they can supply this stuff or talk to dondirtbiker who is a member here and supplies kits.

Search on "paint" or similar and read about other members' experience with repainting in "original" colours.
