You might try : http://www.colorrite.com

They are quite well known for vintage motorcycle paint.

My experience is that it is quite difficult for most automotive paint suppliers to cross-reference the old Honda paint codes, but perhaps you may find one who can. If you have a body panel in the original color (in decent shape) you can take it to a automotive paint supplier and he can match it from the sample, but keep in mind that this match is only as good as the sample used.
