Subject: Re: Green paint Hi does anyone know the paint code for my 1971 500 four? Also loking for a nice kill switch? Chris Hi Candy Jet Green or Candy Jade green (one of those 2) is the correct colour, but i cannot find a colour code anywhere for either colour. Try the experts in the U.K at Phil Denton Engineering? Check out modern Honda's for a suitable kill switch, perhaps one off a CRF 250 for example reply to this |

My only problem with the kill switch is that the red dial colour has faded, the rest of the bike is near mint condition so original is the hope. Thanks reply to this |

Thanks Nissan Tropical green used on the 98 Terano is a close a match as I have seen. It's a discontinued colour so you need to find an Autocentre with a mixing machine. I had 2 cans made for about £11 per can. Enough to do 2 covers and a tank. Kill switches are the same as on other early 70s bikes that are easier to get hold of, so worth buying a cb350 switch just for a new button. Cheers Hondacrome reply to this |
