Paint code for 1978 C50

Post by Chris Munn » Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:28 am

good afternoon from New Zealand.

I am about to start a full restoration of a 1978 Honda C 50 (C50L177332) which is a sort of olive green. I need to know what the correct colour code is, there are no identifying labels on it to assist in this. Can anyone help with this?

I think it's called MIGHTY GREEN and was on the C50 from 1977-79. Code is G31, but double check as the colour below doesn't look Olive Green to me.

BTW, enjoyed Griff Rees Jones' series on Netflix, heading North to South. New Zealand has stunning scenery.

Thanks for the information, I will investigate it further. Yes, the scenery here is pretty good. Not many visitors here at the moment, which pleases many of us as we were starting to suffer from tourist overload. A reset is needed In think…..
