Does anyone have an idea where to get paint codes for 1970s model Hondas? I am looking for "rubber grey metallic" for a 1974 XR75. There was only one source on the web (redracer.com), but another site said that redracer.com is no longer accepting orders, and as far as I knew, they were the only ones that carried that color in a spray can.

I'd like to find that color in a spray can, but I'll have some mixed at the body shop supply place if I can get the right color info.

Thanks.

Try Calling Color Rite,1-800-358-1882

I tried Colorrite. Apparently, their colors only go back as far as 1977. They knew what I was talking about, but had never stocked that color.

I stopped by the local body shop supply place and went through their PPG color samples. They've got hundreds of colors in various shades that are very close to the original color. I'm just going to use a single-stage medium gray metallic and go that route. Since this is going to be a "rider," rather than an exact resto, I don't think it matters all that much that its not perfect.
I thought that with the restoration craze, finding original colors for a Honda would be a little easier than that, though.
