I should imagine Citroen 2CV red would be a match, in performance if not in colour!!! :wave:

Look on the subframe for colour code - should be R157 - go to a motor factors shop like this one local to me > http://www.gramic-supplies.co.uk and tell them the code.

for sure a motor factor will be able to mix you up a match but usually the minimum is 1/2 litre which is perhaps a bit much for touching up, surely Honda will do a touch kit, correct colour, little brush, clear coat that sort of thing.
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R :D ,
Storm is now gone :cry: .

I got my touch up paint from Halfrauds, be persistent as some are idiots there and cant be bothered looking for it on the computer, but it's there.
