Thread: ct70 paint ?

Anderz, The orange worked well for me, pic attached.

That looks very nice, indeed!

I was thrilled with the Sapphire Blue kit..everything went smoothly and plenty of extra in case you screw up.

Both the Topaz Orange and Sapphire Blue pictures you both posted look awesome!

In my honest opinion, there is no match to 40 year old Honda OEM paint. If you like the color, paint the damn thing and call it good. HOK and PPG are some of, if not "the best" paints out there for quality, durability, reputation, history, etc, etc. If you are piecing a bike together with non-original parts, go for it, that's the paint you should use.

I've seen a lot of you saying you can get paint from either vintage honda paint or Minitrail.com. Has anyone ordered any lately? I have been unable to reach anyone at either site. Should I just place the order and wait for the paint to show up? Maybe it's just me but I like to actually talk to someone.

My order was about two months ago. They weren't the best on communication, but the products and result were great. Good to have another Ft.Worth member on this forum.

Motorhead did you just place the order on-line and how long did it take to recieve. What part of fort worth you in? I am actually in Richland Hills.

Backinthedays, I ordered online and it took nearly three weeks, but I think they were swamped and so was the U.S. Postal system at the time. (It was during Christmas week). I'm in SW Ft. Worth in the Benbrook area.

I ordered a Candy Gold paint kit from minitrail70.com that took about two weeks. I ordered on-line. Never received any kind of acknowledgment that they had received an order from me, 2 weeks later it was on my door steps. That was about a week ago.
