Paint codes

[Wes]

Im in the process of trying to carry out a few repairs to the trackbike bodywork, ive done a bit of filling and sanding, so now im looking to spray it, unfortunately i don't know what colour it is (other than blue),
Does anyone have any ideas about how i can go about this? tbh i dont know if its even a Honda colour, could be anything really, Cheers Wes

You should have a sticker somewhere with the Honda code, try under the seat...at least then you can find out if it was a Honda one.

Thank Loops, but i think the bike has been sprayed different to its original colours, but i will give it a look

Hi Wes I bought some paint for the van a while ago, I removed the fuel cap cover, took it in to the Car Paint Warehouse in Swindon, they scanned it identifying the colour exactly . I know its not local to you but if you take a bit of the bodywork into any decent auto paint stockist they should offer this service, they can even put it into aerosols for you.

At least if the code comes back as bright pink you know you're looking for someone who can paint match!

Thanks DC, it would be worth the trip to get the match, im having the suspension set up at MH just outside Chippers, so could pop the whole bike up there :)

Unless it was this one :)

You would have to remove a part as their scanner wasn't portable and they disappeared into an office in the back somewhere with the fuel cap cover. They're at Kembrey park on the Ind Est behind George White's.

Front mudguard is probably favourite, thanks mate

I think it would be easier to take the hugger off than the front mudguard.

I had a bike like that !! lol

Yes mate as its already off, that would be the sensible option :)

Love it when i am right. :)

[Wes]

Found a car paint warehouse in Bristol, result! enjoy it while it lasts Conehead :)

[Conehead]

Is that the right place as it is a motorbike you will be painting. ;)

I dont know what colour it is mate, but i would guess its a generally available paint which puts it into the car realm, i would be happy with a very close match, its only the bottom of the bellypan and a few marks here and there.

When they scan your hugger they should get an exact match which results in some long winded code and then they'll mix the paint to suit :D
Just make sure your'e clear about what you want and they should deliver.
