I’ve been talking with my painter about my H1, he also did my blue ‘72 H2, and provided him with the paint code in the triples reference section. All is good except the main toner is discontinued now. Has anyone heard of another paint formula or replacement for the PPG paint?

I think I waited too long to try to restore an early H1. Parts are tough to find and expensive. I may need to replace the gas tank because it is so rusted inside. The front fender is really rough, the seat is completely wasted, and the engine needs a total rebuild. And good luck finding a usable stock exhaust.

Thanks
Mark

I used a Chrysler orange on mine, over white pearl. I think I have the can in the garage somewhere..
