Topic: Candy Bacchus Olive lookalike

[ThomasSaint]

Hi All,

For any of you with Candy Bacchus Olive paint jobs, I’ve found a really satisfying replacement.

I recently acquired a ‘72 CB 350. It was a mess, including a non-clear coated black spray painted tank. I found the original green color underneath one of the emblems.

I had heard rumors that the Jeep color Moss Green Pearl from the 90s was really close. I took the chance and I’m thrilled with the closeness. See the pictures below of my side covers.

My cans came from Paint Scratch.

Good luck,
Tom

Where in NH are you? I'm in Milford.
I see you haven't introduced yourself and your bike(s) in the new members section???

Here's a 1972 CB350F with a Candy Bacchus Olive finish from a US paint supplier that is slightly different with more olive and less green. I was likely more expensive than your Jeep colour though and a three stage process.

Are you the sky blue 750 I see at 101 all the time? I drive by on my ‘77 550 all time (I work in Milford) but I never have time to stop.

When researching paint, I noticed that the 350Fs seemed to be a lot lighter in tone. I wonder if that was a different paint color. Perhaps my 350G was just bacchus olive and not candy?
