Our engines/covers are painted in Mat Ray Silver, NH-437 paint code.  However, the bases used in the formulation are not legal for sale in the United States and can only be purchased overseas.

Anybody here in the states know how to purchase this touch up paint?  My last resort would be having cyclecolor formulate a non-lead base version but I would prefer to have the OEM Honda pen.

Finally, is there indeed two different paint codes NH-437 and NH-437M (metallic)?  Or is it just that some websites refer to the NH-437M w/out the M?  Is this one color code or two different color codes?

Hopefully somebody will be able to supply a website that ships overseas allowing me to purchase my $10.00 paint pen.

Thanks!

The biggest problem is transport. I have the same problem when I order parts in the USA. UPS, USPS, DHL ect have very strict rules for the transport of fluids (especially after 9/11). No air transport for fluids. Only ground transport (= ship). This Dutch company has the paint: https://www.twowheelparts.nl/ (paint= verf) (kleurnummer=paintcode) look for "kleurnummer"  0178 (NH437M). Maybe they can work something out for you.

Note 1: thanks for the paint code. A lot of people are looking for this code.
Note 2: M (I think it means metallic)µ
Note 3: Don't worry about the "language barrier", although the website is only in Dutch, most people in Holland understand and speak English
