Does anyone know the RAL code for the gold colour Honda used on the clutch cover? If not has anyone found an engine paint that's a close match? Mine is flaky so I'll probably end up repainting it.

I have Teledyne Continental Gold that I am going to use that looks like a pretty close match plus it is heat resistant because it is designed for engines!

lots of layers of clear coat fellas.. that way it wont rub off...


the next time mine rubs off, Im going to take both my wheels and covers in and get them powercoated gold

You have to get it specially mixed by a paint supplier to match - I can supply a large aerosol can for £20 delivered in the UK.

Jeram - must admit I was thinking of using an engine paint with a satin finish, but did wonder about durability. Not sure how normal 2K would stand up to heat, but I painted a rocker cover years ago with 1k base and 2k lacquer, that was fine.

Suppose I could get a matched base coat and then overcoat with satin/matt 2K lacquer for durability. Annoying that a litre of 2K matting agent costs as much as a litre of satin lacquer!!

Berm Basher - do you happen to know the Honda paint code or RAL code? What size areosol is that, and is it compatible with 2K lacquer?

It's just ordinary car spray paint, I took the cover to a paint specialist and had a match mixed and put into an aerosol. I was so happy that I had another one mixed, and this one is unused. It was on the cover for hundreds of miles and over a year, no problems. I think the can is 400mL - you can also have the remains of the original can. There's a thread on here somewhere showing the colour match. BB.
