Default Accurate Silver NH146m Paint alternative

It's hard to believe Honda motors has only used this color on their bikes.

Can anyone tell me if this matches any of the car paints out there...

I am looking to inexpensively touchup the fairings.

I've talked to Honda both Cars and motorcycles and they can't answer my question and neither can Duplicolor.

Color-Rite wants a fortune.

Thanx

Wish I could help you. I finally got the color code for the white on the CBR 929 Erion and it's hard to find. Yup, Color Rite wants double than what Pep Boys charges for touch up and my scratch is about 1/8 inch.

I know the motorcycle paint and automotive paints are not the same.You might be able to find a paint supplier(PPG,Sherwin williams automotive line,etc.).They could tint something pretty close that you would be able tho tell.I've been painting cars and bikes for ten years and on my bike paint code i couldn't find anything for my bike.Or these paint companies have a machine called a profit which takes analysis of the color from your fairings and comes up with a couple paints that should be very close.As far as touching up silver It does touch up well because all the metallics want to run together which makes it look a lot darker.Hope this helps.Sorry about writing a book.HaHa
