Honda 4 stroke paint colour

Bit of a long shot this - i have a 4 stroke honda which is looking a bit battered as it keeps rubbing on our wee auxilliary. I just want to give it a bit of a tidy up and was planning to respray it. Anyone done similar and if so could you let me know if there is any particualr silver paint that seems to match.

Apologies for the rather dull thread topic!

I used Honda Silver,

But I believe the correct colour is Honda Oyster Sillver but the car paint people couldn't do it.

Good luck

Yep, Honda NH282 Oyster Silver Metallic, can be bought from dealers but it's bloddy expensive. Tried a couple of paint shops but they couldn't find a recipe to mix it. Used Vauxhall Platinum Silver as a best match but it's too yellow, plus mine had been painted before so I'm not sure if it's the original Honda colour anyway.

I used HONDA NH678M SILVER PEARL METALLIC if you need an aerosol get a paint shop to supply or halfords can fill one for you. Do you have shops named Halford that far up country?
Don't forget the lacquer to bring out that shine.
