I,m restoring a 1968 ace100 and I,m wondering what the suggested paint colors are for both frame and engine?

All colors can be purchased on the Strictly Hodaka web site if you want the correct colors. Here are some links.

Early Red (available with or without Preval sprayer)

Black for head (available in flat or satin)

Are there any rattlecan aerosol that are usually available locally that are a close match to the original colors for the frame and engine?

Thanx a lot, I,ve visited Strictly Hodaka but was unable to find the correct paint, again thanx.

Im going to submit this just becuase ... My B+ had a guard scudder welded to the head light brackets , Ive been back and forth on this , do I gring it off and redo it it so it doesnt look like a 10 year old did it or leave it as found ... well Saturday I couldnt stand looking at it anymore and ground it off ... Duplicolor DE 1605 Ford Red Engine Enamel is pretty close ! Will not match if its faded but its real close to the original color inside the head light bucket... close enough for my old eyeballs !

kingdve thanks for the tip. Is the Duplicolor engine enamel fairly fuel resistant?

I havent done a "soak test " to see how fuel resistant it is but have painted engines with DupliColor paint , the Hunter Green is real close to Merc outboard Cedarburg Green and no problems but your results may vary ... todays gas is such a toxic mix that I wouldnt bet against it
