Old Honda in Blue

The ol' Yeller Honda 1974 750 Four was painted with House of Colors "True Blue". Now Bryans ride, he can be stylin with some of his handy work. Although the bags kind of take away from it a bit, the blue is amazingly bright. Bryan laid down a very heavy pearlized House Of Color favorite. Bikes are fun to paint simply because they're so much smaller than many of the 4x4 trucks we've painted and or even the cars. Not to mention the creative aspects available for bikes. Even though this is an old bike we wanted to keep the retro look with some modern paint appeal. I painted the Candy Tangerine stripe over Smooth Silver metallic and laid it on. I air brushed the top part with black to shade and painted in a solid black line underneath to give it more body.
Keeping the original badges helped to keep the retro look. We contemplated and still may add the Tangerine to the front and rear fenders. But for now we're happy having the new color and the feel it gives the bike. There still is some work to do like the head light cover and a little more wet sanding to knock out a little of the orange peel.
