So I have successfully found a Candy ruby red and base , I now am about to do a couple blow- ins on a mighty green and then respray a frame .
The question is - what base did Honda use on the mighty green - from my view it looks to be a white but I have been fooled before and it was silver. I don't think silver was needed on the green .
The urethane I'm using doesn't need a base to achieve the color I'm thinking but I did find that a very little top coat or red was required over the base to correctly bring the effect of candy . So I was thinking I best ask and I may get the color better if I understand the base - white??? - just in case I have trouble with tooo green - I may have to hit it up with some base to get real close Understanding that laquer doesn't exist - just need to know if this pops too much - the white base as I see it would be best to know ahead of time .
What have you guys found ?
Eventually I hope to assist other members with an easy opportunity for members to spray out their own bikes with the right codes for the red , green , on and on - after the green is topaz orange - mine looks like a washed out gold from fade and hoping that that color pops like the ruby red .
All of the refinishing I have completed on these so far - less is more correct and it's easy to overestore these just by cleaning up weld spatter and applying an even coat 360 * . It's noticable .
