I'm trying to find a close "rattle can" match for my '83 Honda 250R. Anybody have some suggestions?

And can someone tell me why Honda never put a grease zerk on the front/rear wheel bearing hub or front steer stem?

R-109 Passion red is the exact paint code if you want the OG stuff. last time i checked, it was $35 for a rattle

Rustoleum Sunrise Red is what i use on red stuff. it matches very closely and is available for cheap and damn near everywhere. i usually pick up mine from Wally World (Walmart)

Well passion red is the red they used I believe. Not sure if that was all the trikes or just a certain one. Now you said close color match.. I had a set of 250r fenders on my watch list on ebay and it says they come in fighter red which is the closest thing to original. Not sure if that helps, that's just what that listing said.

I am also looking for a good match. I just replaced all the plastic on my new to me 85 250ES Big Red. The only original body parts I have are the two side covers and they are badly faded, so I need to repaint them.
