So this is my first post after lurking a while and the searching for this specific content.
If this has been covered somewhere already, I aplogize for the redeux ut hope you will not flame me too badly for the inquiry.

I own a '75 MT250 that has been loved and used well, but is still in decent shape. I'll post some pictures of the beast in recovery/transition soon. Going through this bike to restore it as completely as possible and have now run into a wall with the repaint. I've made and finished several solid body guitars in my workshop with old-style nitro in rattlecans to great end results and figured I could do the same with the tank and fenders. However, I can find no source for the factory correct paint out on the internet. Nelson (Forum master) was kind enough to get me on the Tahitian red for the tank stripe, but the Custom Silver Metallic (Honda code - NH42M) remains elusive and I'd like to get it all from the same supplier to avoid in conflicts between paint compounds etc. I could go with a Preval aerosol converter if absolutely necessary, but would rather not.

Anybody have a good source for this to help me complete my project?

I appreciate any direction and feedback this forum can offer me!
Thanks in advance for the responses.

Sorry, I just realized that I had the Forum master's name wrong and may have offended the established group...Nathan NOT Nelson!

Thanks for any help on this paint quest guys!
