CD175- only two colours but what were they?

[mike73]

Hi- all- I am currently in the midst of two restorations- a CB250K4 and a CD175 A4 (UK spec). The CD175 will need a bit of a respray and I can see that these were only supplied in blue or red (I believe "candy" blue or red). However the paint code sticker on my bike has long since departed and there are several variants of candy red- does anyone know the paint codes for the blue and red versions of this bike please?

Thanks

Mike

PS I have seen the vsource.org but this doesn't assign paints to bikes- hell neither do the original honda brochures which I also have!

The two colours are:-

Candy Sapphire Blue - HC-16-502, (PB-3C?)

Candy Ruby Red - HC-16-201

Base coat is Silver - UC-16-100, (you'll never get the original look without it).

Please double check the paint codes but the names are correct.
try ringing RS Paints, they're very knowledgable about paint codes.
I think that both these colours were used on early "K" 750 Hondas, you may find them easier to find using that fact.
