ST1300-Touch-Up Paint

[Mellow]

Here's a list of the paint codes in case you need to touch up some paint:

2007
- Manufacturer's code (NHA30M) Digital Silver Metallic
- Color Rite (2134 (http://www.colorrite.com/product_info.php?products_id=983))

2006
- Manufacturer's code (NHB01) Graphite Black
- Color Rite (2006 (http://www.colorrite.com/product_info.php?products_id=1114))

2005
- Manufacturer's code (R-151C-U) Candy Graceful Red
- Color Rite (2632 (https://www.colorrite.com/product_info.php?products_id=1089&osCsid=85554ba13a673dd1a8d2b092aa063a0b), requires base color 1332)

2004
- Manufacturer's code (PB255M) Pearl Coronado Blue
- Color Rite (2690 (http://www.color-rite.com/product_info.php?products_id=245))

2003
- Manufacturer's code (NH478M) Tower Silver Metallic
- Color Rite (2912 (http://www.color-rite.com/product_info.php?products_id=319))
- Duplicolor 'Signet Silver'

A dealer said the wheel color code was NH1 for the 2003's and color-rite does have an NH1Z (http://www.color-rite.com/product_info.php?products_id=102) color that is stated to be Honda Gloss Black.

I'm not sure what the color code is for the 2004-5 silver wheels but when I find them I'll update this post.

Also, Duplicolor "Signet Silver" will match '03' body color for less.

Thanks Don, I added that to the info.

I just received the - Manufacturer's code (R151P) Pearl Royal Magenta - Color Rite (2619) and it's way too dark.

Now that I go research the Color Rite site, I see that I need the Candy Graceful Red, R151CU (http://www.color-rite.com/product_info.php?products_id=1089) with a base coat of 1332.

$31.48. Thanks a lot..................http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/halfwing/SMILEYS/COMPUTER_PUNCH.gif
Considering that Honda calls the '05 "Candy Dark Red" I think you're on the right track. I'd be interested in the outcome if you go ahead and purchase. I've been on the fence about this for a couple of minor dings. It's not so much the expense as wanting to know that if I put touch-up paint on that I can expect it to look better than the unrepaired ding...

I had several posts on this subject in the now-archived "What color is your ST" (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5768) poll. It's my view that Honda mistakenly advertised the '05 color as Candy Dark Red instead of the correct color, Candy Graceful Red. I respectfully submit the following into evidence.

Bottom line is, I ordered a small bottle of the Candy Graceful Red touch up paint for my 2005 ST1300A and it matched up just right. I didn't bother using the separate base color for the small scratches I was trying to fill and it worked just fine. I think it's probably wise to use the suggested base color for painting larger areas though.

Mike, did you order it from Honda and is the manufacturer code R151P? I just want to make sure my first post is still acurate. I think I got the color names from colorite...

Mellow,

I believe the color for the '05 should read R-151C-U. The color is written on a label under the seat (battery side).

The touch up paint I ordered from my local Honda dealer is Honda color R-151CU and looks to be part number 7974041. The color matches the bike.

I rest my case. :)

Cool beans! I did feel free... Still do...:amflag:

[naturally wired]

Love to know whats the paint code number for my rims on my 2004 st , even a close guess would be appreciated ?

[stickman]

How about touch-up paint for an 06 black tank?

I put a nice scratch on my tank today, down to the metal. I was installing MCL risers. Yes, I did put a blanket over the tank, but apparently it wasn't thick enough to protect it when a handlebar fell on it.

I'm really not too concerned over the cosmetics of the bike, but I don't want it to rust. Will it be ok if I just use some touch-up paint?

[Mellow]

I'm no expert... but I would think most black touch-up paint would work.. the sooner you do it the better as to avoid any corrosion to begin.

[long2rideST]

If anyone is looking to touch-up their 05 ST wheels I found the paint code for the GL1800 (under Cowl) matches perfectly, NH168M (Axis Gray Metallic). I looked at the Colorite site it doesn't show having it, I purchased it from here: http://www.wingworx.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1045

Any information on matching Handlebar paint...very soft - easy to scratrch.

[gnorts]

I just ordered touch-up paint for my 05 from Color Rite. Primer, base, topcoat and clear, all in little pen applicators, about $60 delivered. I need all 4 since a thief tried to steal the bike a few weeks back. The creep crowbarred his way into the locked fairing pocket, which of course was empty. He destroyed the pocket lid, the lock, and the black plastic surrounding the pocket, and he put a gash in the paint on the tank right next to the pocket lid. It's down to bare metal, about 3/4" long and 1/4" wide.

He couldn't steal the Honda, so he stole my Moto Guzzi instead. I got it back, with less damage than the Honda suffered!

The cops caught the guy. I just got a letter from the county prosecutor, addressed to "dear crime victim.":rolleyes: I sent them the details on the cost of the damage, and the judge will consider my evidence when the guy is sentenced, and will force him to provide me with "restitution." I ain't holdin' my breath.

The local dealer said he could order touch-up paint from Honda, but he said Honda USA gets their touchup paint from Color-Rite, and they charge more for it. I ordered all 4 products since the scrape is so deep; I will need to build it up with several coats of base to get it even.

When I sent my paperwork back to the court, I included an estimate from the dealer to replace the tank, since he said he couldn't paint it satisfactorily because of the clearcoat over the Honda graphics. A replacement tank is $625! Add the labor to install at the dealer, and all the other damage to both bikes, this crook is gonna owe me $1200 when he gets out of jail.:cool:

Great idea Joe. Thanks.

Does anyone know the color of the gray-ish rear passenger grab-rail? I have a few small scratches I'd like to cover up.

Must have nicked it installing the top box....

[ernest62]

I bought the 05 paint pens. I'm waiting for it to warm up before I try them. For those in Canada, Color Rite is sold by a place in Quebec. http://www.dpars.com/

Whipped off a E-mail to Motorcycle Larry for his Powder coat Paint code -
which may be close...No reply yet
But would like Honda,s match...

[Jerry55]

After a trip to my STealer and several searches I finally connected with the paint code for the rims of my 2006 ST1300A.

:new: NH167MU, Iron Nail Silver Metallic

Update: Could not get a listing from Color Rite.
However my local auto paint store found the Honda code in Dupont's "Standox" premium paint line. The match is great.
PS: After painting, a clear coat is required.

[Jerry55]

The Honda paint code for a 2006 ST1300 handlebar is: Nh295m (Sparkling Silver Metallic).

I think it's available in Dupont's "Standox" premium paint line.
