[QUOTE="Uchytil, post: 1309872, member: 43803"] There's a ton of Vintage/Post Vintage sites that offer what you need - just do a search using keywords like EVO, vintage, post vintage, etc. I've done a few bikes now and am currently working on two 1979 Maicos. I found that PJ1 paint works pretty good for a rattle can. They also have a clear epoxy top coat. I see they list a 88-89 Honda Red P/N 53-6050. I would expect that to be close for most apps. I used a similar color on a 1982 CR125 once (with a clear topcoat). A step up would be to find a paint chip under an area that's not faded and have it matched with an automotive paint. You could spray that. Another guy I know used a two part marine (boat) epoxy sprayed on. The upside is it's tough as nails, but it's fairly dangerous without good ventilation/respiration gear. The last choice (for me) would be powdercoating. It's nice for a show bike or one that's not getting abused (like a dirtbike). If you chip the powdercoat it's harder to make a nice repair as is with paint. Lot's of choices, good luck. [/QUOTE]
