Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

I am resotoring my 75 CR125M Is there a color code for the Custom Silver Metallic. I have seen the code for Tahitian Red.
Is there help out there? Thanks

I did a quick search on this website and came up with this post from Ray Ivers.
The post subject was "74 MT250 My first project"

Here's what I got from the Honda parts info at Babbitt's:


TANK ASSY., FUEL *NH42M / R18* (CUSTOM SILVER METALLIC AND DAYTONA ORANGE) (Honda Motorcycle Code 0348789)

COVER, L. SIDE *NH42MC* (CUSTOM SILVER) (Honda Motorcycle Code 0350033)

FENDER, FR. *NH42MC* (CUSTOM SILVER) (Honda Motorcycle Code 0321737) - rear fender same


It appears the tank silver is metallic, while the rest of the bike is not.

Here's a couple of paint links - the audio on the first link is well worth listening to:

If you want to paint your bike just like it was originally done, be prepared to spend some money. The complete NH42M Custom Silver Metallic paint kit I got last year (base flex coat/color/clear coat, enough to do maybe 3 fenders) cost over $200.

Ray,
Thanks for the help I am going to look into this. This is my first dirt bike I had and fround it all these years later.
