    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Factory paint 08E

Steve, I think you're right. That $2.54 cents I paid for it including shipping was just a bit too much!
 
Chuck, I take pride in it, thank you very much... :)

Happy Easter to you as well!
 
That was just a sarcastic ribbing by the way..Did you get it yet or is it in transit? Is that basically enought to do a full repaint if you wanted to????
 
I just bought and paid for it 15 minutes ago.

If I have it figured correctly, they should each be a 90 gram tin (3 oz). I suspect it to be a base and mid coat, or primer and base but I won't be sure until I get it. There was some 08J paint on ebay recently and it was a can of black (??) and a can of red by the looks of it.
 
What I meant was, I'll find out what 'material' the paint is made out of. I.E. urethane base coat or ??? The colour I know about, as I tried touching up the NOS fender I bought which was damaged in shipment.
 
FYI. A local body shop found a perfect match for that same code on my '79 GS1000. There is a colour code on the w/o of NH592P but the description is Flamenco Black Pearl and it is a 2000 Honda car colour. If I hold the tail piece beside my stock tank in the bright sun even the metal flake in it is a perfect match.
