Late model CL77 fork lower paint and Honda Cloud Silver spra

rpr851r · Post by **rpr851r** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:04 am

I searched the form and can’t find the answer to what the “right” paint is to use for the fork lowers on a 1967 CL77? Is the paint supposed to be the same silver as on the tank and side covers or is it the same as the engine cover paint?

Also has anyone used the Honda Cloud Silver paint in spray cans (part # NH35M, http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/honda ... NH35M.html) and have an opinion of it? I have a couple of cans and am going to shoot a spare side cover to see how it looks but don’t have anything to compare the color to.

One last question, is the oil filler tube supposed to be painted or raw?

Thanks,
Rich

The silver is a color that no other part of the bike is painted.
Different to the cases and more satin than the tank.
Painted. ...........lm

I'm sorry but I don't understand the answer. Is the correct color for the lower forks Honda Cloud Silver?

LM,
Any paint recommendations for the lower fork legs on a late model CL that you are willing to share? I took a look at various rattle can silvers and didn’t see much I thought was the right color.

Thanks,
Rich

About the closest I've come was using KRYLON Dull Aluminum with a couple coats of Semi Gloss Clear. .............lm
