Paint code for 1960's rc bikes?

Looking for the paint code for the red on the vintage rc's or whatever is the equivalent now.

Thanks!

Pretty sure you can use Honda Red. Pretty much the same red they've used since the 60s. The silver was called "Aluminum" but is a basic metallic silver. Can't help on the gold or green they used (though I've heard tue green is standard British racing Green).

50 shades of .....red.....


I had a 1960 Ducati and the Previous Owner had it sprayed in "ferrari" Rosso Corsa Red

Your best bet is to take a really high res image of the bike you're emulating down to tue local auto body supply and say "I need these colors". They can custom mix whatever you want. Seeing as the RC bikes were race bikes, you may have some trouble finding actual paint codes.

Do you have 2 Ducati's in your living room?
