Original Colors

[bigblackrooster]

I just recently purchased a 90 CB7 and it is pretty much perfect except for the fact that it has a really cheap paintjob on it and since I've always been rather partial to some of the factory colors, I would like to know what the paint codes are for that particular model, because I would like to get the car back into original shape, could anyone help me with that one?

Thanks

the 92-93 had some nice colors, with clear coat, personally i like the Rosewood Brown Metallic. The 90-91 Cappuccino wasnt that great looking i dont think, also some of the Greens look really nice.

Color names?

What is up with these paint names? Candy wine? Hampshire Green Metallic? I guess that makes since as whenever I think of the word Hampshire, I think money...

I guess for an excessively color blind guy, like myself, using the simple cmyk color system would be much easier. Need a name? Call it red, green white, dark gray, light gray, etc. The additional adjectives just sound pretentious...

I have a green 1, but the previous owner got a cheap 199.00 imitation honda green pait job. The clear coat is coming up or peeling I don't know what you call it, but it is ugly. I think I will just sand off the clear until I can get it painted.

That would be easier but what about the different shades of blue, red, green, yellow etc?

They have weird name for the same reason Coca Cola has a patent on a color. Marketing reasons. Thats what I can think of.

Consumer - Oh my, look at that cute little blue car.
Sales Guy - Ma'am, that automobile's color is called Blue Ribbon Metallic and is only produced this year, it is a rare occurence.

The crazy names sounds a lot better than just..white, red....etc. We could always just say, "My car colour is #FFFFFF" or, "I'm thinking of painting my car #339933...ect. That'd be sweet...lol.

YR-501M ...Cappucino Brown Metallic

i believe that is the colour of my car i need to some places of it repaint and was thinking about doing it myself. Except i can't find places that can replace that colour. Besides getting those dinky ones from the dealership. Do u have to go to a paintshop to get it mixed for you now since that colour really isn't made onto cars these days?
