any bike builders here?
I have a few 1/6 Honda kits and a 1/12? Honda scrambler kit.
Ideas as to how to match the Honda copper/red/blue paint finishes of the 1960-70's?
I only use brushes and rattle cans and the auto colors don't seem to be right..
short of buying those colours in custom mix rattle cans, i can't see how you'll get them very accurate. you'll either have to get the colours mixed (an auto body place?), or find auto paint that's close enough.

Your post is a little bit older, but if the problem isn´t fixed here is my idea. IMO the only way to come next to the original paint is a silver base from Tamiya (like TS 30) and an second coat with Tamiya clear orange, clear red or clear blue. But it´s try and error for you, because I never made it.
Try your local Honda dealer for touch up paint, or ask for the apint codes if they have them - should be on the parts fiche - and take them to a paint supplier who can mix the correct colours. Failing that, try Honda customer service at the importers head office.
