Winter is here and I'm thinking of taking out the first two little dents ever in my gas tank (put there courtesy of the Old Elm trail at Lake Stanley Draper in Oklahoma this summer) and repainting my tank. It appears the red is a "light ruby" color, according to websites. Anyone know any colors I can buy or have mixed or buy for the MR250?? I thought it was the same red as on the '76 CRs, but upon closer inspection, it does appear a little less orange. Thanks a bunch

I used modern Honda color milano red. A little darker but available in touch up cans.

Solid! Thank you so much. A little darker isn't so bad as my side panels look a little darker than my tank anyway. Any idea where the best place to get replacement stickers is?? They need to be fuel proof as I'm going to put the stickers on top of any clearcoat I may, or may not use.
Thanks
