Motorcycle Repair: honda engine paint, honda models, engine paint

Question
I am restoring a 1967 CB450. Just had the head and cylinder redone and they bead blasted them clean. The engine was originally painted with a silver paint.  Do you know what the color was and what type of paint was used? Is there a suitable modern substitute?

Answer
Hi Brian,

Visit this website:

You'll find parts, owners, and service manuals here. Maybe the answer to your question, too.

Otherwise, ask expert Bill Silver this question. Bill's expertise is with these older Honda models.

Respectfully,
