    Can anyone enlighten me as to the correct paint color code on an '86 model VFR Interceptor when painted in the Honda color scheme "Red, white and blue" where white is the main color with red / blue acent stripes plus blue across the top of the tank and below the wind sheild. A blue seat was also used.
    I already have the color codes as used on the Interceptor:
    Pearl Fadeless White NH341
    Pearl Spencer Blue PB 803M
    Candy Glory Red R101 CU
    The original Color lable tells me my bike left the factory as Granite blue metalic but I wish to change that and in the process, confuse the hell out of the critics by re-printing a lable, more especially because I am painting an '89 model - not '86
    But what I don't know is just how Honda wrote the color code to include all three colors - was it just as simple as writing all three codes on the lable or did Honda have an over-riding code to cover this combination?
    Any help would be appreciated :)

    Thanks but I am now confused: none of those colors came as a match for the 3 colors I found on the internet as being "correct for my project"
    I shall follow the lead aout SXCOLOR INFO and see where it takes me (I thought I already had the right color names and codes
    And was just looking for what the "sticker" layout should look like to be correct on the bike (under the seat)
    Now I need to find what the correct codes are - again?
    Nothing like the internet to confuse the hell out of ordinary folk :Juggle:

    Update: SXCOLOR.INFO did not get me past "Special search" for some reason - perhaps I'm not smart enought?
    However, I did find something - the Shasta white etc are the 3 colors as used by Rothmans race team acording to my information
    But the color codes as shown are "different" to the ones I had received for the Rothmans codes
    And the RWB color codes I quoted at the start of this thread were Honda colors for the '86 Interceptor - so make of that what you will?
    And I had thought to stay with Honda paint colors for purety of the Marque even though I intend to use on 1989 model which I believe never used this color scheme anyway - but I just like the way Honda used the 3 colors in their layout
    Please - I don't wish to pick an arguement with anyone, just reporting the info I found for a confusing situation and I certainly do not claim my info source is the correct one!
