Howdy - first post here...

Here is a list of Honda motorcycle paint colors with the codes.  The ones I have tried work.

Some of the early 70's vintage Honda candy colors (or should I say colours) don't really have a paint code; they were created with several layers of paint, metallic, tint and clear coats.  The result was a beautiful finish - but hard to recreate in a run of the mill paint shop-although I was able to fine one here locally that did it for me (Lunar Orange Metallic) with a perfect match; it wasn't cheap though.
