1967 Honda-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1967 Honda-Motorcycle Vibe

Welcome to the Summer of Love, where the only thing louder than the Jimi Hendrix records was the roar of a Honda CL77 Scrambler tearing up a dirt trail. In 1967, Honda was busy proving that "you meet the nicest people" on their bikes, whether they were commuting on a Super Cub or pushing a Dream 305 to its limit. While the brochures teased a few candy colors, our records show that Black was the survivor-the quintessential, rock-solid choice for the serious rider. This wasn't the thin, computerized spray of today; this was thick, single-stage soul that looked like a pool of ink when it rolled off the line.

Paint Health Check

Because we are firmly in the Single Stage Era, your biggest enemy isn't peeling-it's "The Chalk." Without a clear coat to shield it, that 1967 pigment has been fighting a losing battle against UV rays for over half a century. If your tank looks more like a chalkboard than a mirror, you're looking at heavy oxidation. Worse yet, these old-school finishes were notoriously sensitive to gasoline. One leaky petcock or a clumsy fill-up at the pump back in '72 was enough to melt the gloss right off the metal. If it hasn't been loved, that black paint is likely thirsty, faded, and ready to flake.

Restoration Tip

Here is the gospel from the booth: It needs wax or it dies. If you're touching up a survivor, remember that single-stage paint is porous. Before you apply your match, you need to strip away that "chalky" oxidized layer with a light rubbing compound to find the true color underneath. Once you've laid down your repair, seal it like your life depends on it. A high-quality carnauba wax or a modern sealant is the only thing standing between your 1967 finish and a one-way trip to Rust Town. Keep the gas off the tank, and keep the wax on the paint.
