1970 Honda-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1970 Honda-Motorcycle Vibe

The year 1970 was a turning point. While everyone else was still leaking oil in their driveways, the Honda CB750 "Superbike" was busy rewriting the rules of the road. It was the era of the Scrambler, the Trail 70, and the legendary "Four." While the world was shifting into an earth-tone coma of avocado greens and harvest golds, we've focused our efforts on the absolute essential survivor: Black. This isn't just a color; it's the backbone of every 1970 frame and the deep, ink-pool finish that made those chrome fenders actually pop. It's the color of a bike that looks like it means business at a stoplight.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Single Stage Era here. Back in 1970, Honda wasn't using fancy clear coats to hide their mistakes; they sprayed real acrylic lacquer or enamel that stood on its own. The problem? It's alive, and it's breathing. If your 1970 tank looks like it's been dusted with flour, that's not dirt-it's Oxidation. The UV rays have literally toasted the top layer of your paint into a "chalky" grave. Furthermore, these old finishes have the chemical resistance of a paper towel; one bad spill at the gas pump and you've got a permanent "fuel stain" etched into your hard work.

Restoration Tip

Before you even think about touching up a chip on a fifty-year-old survivor, you've got to "exfoliate." Use a fine rubbing compound to remove that milky, oxidized layer of dead paint until you see the true color underneath. If you try to touch up over the chalk, it'll look like a different shade and peel off in a week. Once you've leveled the surface and applied your touch-up, listen closely: It needs wax or it dies. Without a modern clear coat to shield it, a high-quality carnauba wax is the only thing standing between your paint and the sun. Treat it like a ritual, or watch it fade back to a chalkboard by next season.
