Candy and Silver Paint

CANDY COLOR PAINT KITS

If you don't see what you need.............................e-mail me.

I am offering paint kits for the Early 70's Honda's and especially the SL's. Perfect matches for the non-existent Candy Colors that make or break a restoration effort. These colors have been elusive as Candy paints are not that popular these days, but I've managed to get the most popular colors matched and I am offering them in a kit along with the proper base color and catalyst that creates the original look of the bikes. E-mail me for more information. The paint is Deltron PPG DBC. If you don't see your color listed below and have a good representative part, I can do the matching process and provide you with the paint. Please be aware that the only shipping option for paint is via FedEx ground. Unfortunately, that means no International shipping. You get all the necessary materials to use or give to your painter with the exception of the primer and reducer. I can also supply the black or white paint for stripes, as well as the reducer if requested.

****1 Kit, $300 shipped to the continental U.S.****

Kit contains: 1 qt of matched color, 1 pt of silver base coat, 8oz of catalyst for base coat, 1 qt of clear & 8 oz of catalyst for the clear.

****Individual Prices + Shipping****

1 Qt of matched color $95

1 Pt of Silver Base Coat $57

1 Pt of Black or White for Stripes $57

DISCLAIMER: I have bought many NOS parts painted in the Candy Colors. I can personally tell you that there are discrepancies in the lightness / darkess of the parts. Candy Colors are Transparent, and that means that the more coats you apply, the less of the base coat you see through it and therefore it will appear darker. I always recommend that you paint an entire body kit at the same time or make sure that you have the original piece next to your painter and ask him to be sure not to put too many coats on before checking for a match. Also, anytime there is the existence of a Candy in any of the formula's, a catalyst or 'hardener' must be used. Painting with this type of paint is best left to a professional. Even some of the non-candy colors have an element of candy in them, such as the Light Ruby Red that came on the SL70 K0's and the SL175K1.

I have the following colors at this time:

Candy Sapphire Blue - SL100 K0/K1, SL175 K0/K1, SL350 K0/K1, Z50 K1, CL100 K0/K1, CL125A, CB175 K3, CL175K3/K4, CB350 K0/K1, CL350 K0/K1/K2, CL450 K1/K2/K3, CB550F0

I am offering paint kits for the Early 70's Honda's where Silver was the prominent color. Honda pretty much used 1 mix of silver for many years and it probably extends to even more models than I have listed above.

Perfect matches for the silver paint used on frames, swingarms, brackets and many of the body kits for the Elsinores and MR's. This paint is a high grade automotive Base Coat / Clear Coat mixed and packaged in aerosol cans. The paint is Deltron PPG and I have gotten great results as you can see from the picture of the bike frame above.

The Silver color used by Honda is difficult to match in that it has a very low content of metallic, but yet it is a pure silver color. I experimented with just about every can of over the counter silver available and although I got close, it wasn't until this effort that it really came out right.

This kit consists of one can of the silver and one can of the clear. The can of clear is oversized and can provide enough clear for about 2 cans of the silver.

****1 Kit, $48 plus shipping****
