Have any of you guys had any luck matching powder to factory colors? I am mainly looking for a match to the earlier honda red and blue, but the silver and gold would be handy info for future projects. Thanks for any help.

For Honda red I use Columbia Coatings supper mirror red, the blue is super mirror blue (its close, but not exact), and gold metallic.
Here is the blue and red.
Here is the gold.

I think the best match you can get to the OEM original HONDA red color is to find a NOS part and compare paint to that. I put a set of NOS OEM Honda engine hangers on my 1987 200X and they were a tad bit brighter in red because they were shiny new . I think over time the original red paint on your frame ,etc can turn dull in color due to age,washing and weathering.

So the super mirror blue, how close is that to say the dark blue on the tank of a 1982 185s ? Anyone know?
