The color you want is Tahitian Red. It is available in cans from http://www.flanders.com and http://www.vmxracing.com. IMO, you should decide whether you want or need after-market plastic and then color-match the paint to that. |

Redrocket, could you help me with this Flanders site? I went to the site, but they don't seem to sell anything, they just let me search for something, and then they pass me off to another site. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help |

I bought several can of paint in my search for the right color. For what it's worth, I used Dupli-Color engine enamel. Oddly enough the color is Chrysler Industrial Red (DE1632). The label says it's good to 500 degrees. It matches quite well. |

Dew thats the same paint I used for my motor and it worked great! Nice shiny finish, looks better than original in my book. I found paint at lowes, American Heritage something in red for the frame and it matched the Chrysler paint. Found some plastic paint at Home Depot for the plastic and there you go! Not quite Tahitian Red but works for me, I'm just gonna mess it up riding it anyway!

just a foot note to your post guys after many years of custom painting and playing with hondas i found a nos head for my 81/2 cr125 got a mate at a paint shop to mix up a litre for me perfect dulled it down for the motor and everything then went to our local auto shop and bought a duplicolour called toyota fireball and it is within two shades of the original honda tahetian red hope this helps for future reference |
