Thanks for the update Painter, I figured there may not be a match yet except for Colorwrong, I have used it before and it is way overpriced to say the least. I have painted for quit a few years and know it makes a big difference on gun pressure, spray pattern ect to get paint to match especially with metalics and candies. I may have to get the Colorwrong and take it out of the spray can and spray it with my HVLP gun before I buy a damn quart of the stuff.Brillo,
The Blue is a tri-coat. Silver base coat / Blue Candy and then a clear coat. PPG has not formulated this yet. I am still experimenting but have not come up with an exact match. Colorrite.com is the only paint for the blue that I have found so far.
The silver is matched and I am within a 1/2 step of getting the red and will have it in the next couple of weeks.![]()
I'm pretty sure that the matte silver is the silver base with the matte clear. I've shot a little of this and it is almost a dead ringer.
Colorrite is pretty pricey!!!and the spray can's don't match exactly. For an exact match I think you would have to go with colorrite paint and take the paint to a shop to shoot.
Controlled conditions are critical on candies.
YEP...Done that and the paint is not a match at all. Scanning Candies will give you the color but not the 'candy'Thanks for the update Painter, I figured there may not be a match yet except for Colorwrong, I have used it before and it is way overpriced to say the least.

I thought someone said that the blue was the same blue that was on some of the other earlier Honda bikes? I sure would have thought that PPG would have matched those by now? Has anyone tried taking a part to PPG to have them do a scan on one to try to match it? BTW you do some nice work.
