83 Honda 200E paint

[mrpacman]

Hi. I am planning to restore an 83 Big Red. It will be a while before I need paint. But, I thought I would start researching now.
Can anyone put me in the right direction for correct Honda red paint? I would like to paint the tank and forks with good quality durable correct color paint.
Thanks

NASON (DuPont) code 215.157 (87 Lamborgini Red) - this will nail it...I use a singe stage acrylic enamel, but you can use a bc/cc as well.

Krylon 'Red Pepper'...seems to be a popular match for Honda Red paint

Thank You guys for this information. I am happy I found this site!! I love older Hondas. Especially 3 wheelers. I have 3 Big Reds. 1982, 1983, and 1985. The 83 is the poorest condition. But, I would love to restore all 3 eventually.
