Just picked up a 68 Honda Z50 for a restoration project. I was hoping some one has the paint code for a color called Bright Yellow. Can’t seem to come up with it. Thanks for your help.

I have one for the yellow used in 69/70 in PPG back home that I will be able to post when I get home at Christmas, I think it's the same. I have in the past posted it here but cannot find it. That said I had to replace a broken muffler guard back in the 90's. My local paint supplier who had a very good eye for color match mixed me a pint of Centari using my old part as the guide. Today if I was starting from nothing I would look into how close a match is to the new Monkey,a Honda S2000 or Goldwing which all came in a "bright" yellow as opposed to the mustard yellow used with the 50 K2's
Just found my paperwork,turns out I don't have the yellow just the red and blue

Just found this in my old messages,I never got a answer back to confirm but maybe it will help -
Hi Tim,I see you have not been on in a while but if you see this I have a question for you. In the post- Honda Mexican Yellow there is a picture of your PPG paint mix. I assume that is the formula you had mixed off of my bike? Is that a base coat/clear coat or ? What did you use for silver? Thanks

Thanks Gary for the info on the paint for the 68 Z50. I am a retired auto body painter and the Honda
S2000 color will probably work just fine. It is a nice yellow and will look real nice.

I must be getting old, I didn't pick up ANY indication that you're a retired auto body painter looking at your username...
...the term scooter jockey is what jumped out at me, for some reason

My son got me into the mini trails. I had a mini trail 70 when I was a kid and always wanted a z50. My son has a 68 69 70 and a 71. The 70 and 71 are done , the 68 I have to finish painting the tank and fenders and the 69 he has to tear down. Enclosed are pictures of the completed bikes and my 68 with a borrowed tank and seat to fire it up.

They are a lot of fun to mess with, and the motors are pretty much bullet proof! also don't take up to much space .
Hi Gary,
If you would be so kind to post the Red and Blue paint codes that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
