Does any one know where i can get some R109 paint 200x/250r (red paint)

That's the basic red paint for the Honda frames right? Try getting ahold of ClayW in PM or search for his thread on painting gastanks. In a pinch though, I've used International Harvester Red on my 350X frame. Also others have used "Sunset Red" I think.... which is ironic, cause Japan is the land of the rising sun....

A few years back there used to be a company called Color Rite that sold it, among many other OE colors. Chapparral racing in CA used to carry it, but no longer. Not sure if they're still around or where you'd look to find them.

in a pinch, valspar 'regal red' is a pretty close match too

if you want rattle can, rust-oleum enamel sunrise red is a perfect match. Lowes $4

Is colorite acrylic enamel ,2 stage, or what?

[dirtwheels]

I ordered some of the colorrite R109 touch-up and it did not match the frame color. It was too orange looking. And it was expensive.

Yea, that rust-oleum sunrise red is good, my rear brake master had leaked brake fluid on my frame, and I did a touch up, looks so good I am going to do the whole frame this winter, its spray can, but I wire wheel and scuff with scotch brite, then wipe it down with acetone, stuff sticks great. looks orange in this picture, but not in person, its right on.

Yep just painted some of my 200x with the rust-oleum enamel sunrise red, and it Looks great! I wish I had a better camera.

Anyone who wants the best match to R109 Passion red can get ahold of me. I can do single spary cans mixed by R109 formula. Can be done in single stage fast dry, base coat for clear, or activated single stage. Also can do pints. Single stage cans are $25 plus shipping. Dead on match. I'll try to get pics, or check put my 350X build thread.

I need to know the color on the rear swing arm. Mine looked silver from the factory, does anyone know a good match? 1985 200x

[ctbale]

duplicolor silver brake caliper paint, napa or orielys. has ceramic in it, seems pretty chip resistant too

Hi Pete,

As soon as I get the sample done I'll send you some pics and let you know price etc etc or I could send you the sample down and you can make sure your happy with the match first?
I might ask the guy t get me some base coat for the 82r engine, that way I can go over it with some satin or matt clear coat to avoid the engine being too glossy (doesn't look right).
Cheers,

Here's a pic of the 350X with our Dupont color matched paint. Base Chroma base and clear. We have also matched the shasta white for the 350x tank, ceramic white for the 200x tanks and the silver for the swingarm

[f22parts]

Looks the same to me.
