Where to find your paint code

Honda makes it relatively simple to locate your vehicle's exact paint code. For the 2024 Honda Accord, you will need to check the Service Parts Identification sticker.

1. Open the driver's side front door.
2. Look at the lower B-pillar (the door jamb area where the door latches).
3. Locate the white and black manufacturer sticker that displays the VIN, tire pressure data, and barcode.
4. Your paint code will be located near the bottom of this sticker. It usually starts with "NH", "R", or "B" followed by numbers and a letter (e.g., "NH-883P"). Occasionally, there may be an interior trim code located right next to it, so look specifically for the exterior code format.

If the sticker is missing or illegible, you can always call your local Honda dealership parts department. Provide them with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and they can instantly pull up your exact factory paint code.

Best touch-up paint sources

Getting a high-quality paint match is essential. Here are the top sources for finding touch-up paint for your 2024 Honda Accord:

• Your Local Honda Dealer: For small rock chips, the OEM touch-up paint pens from the dealership are inexpensive and offer an exact factory match. They usually include a specialized abrasive tip and clear coat built-in.
• AutomotiveTouchup: A highly recommended online supplier that custom-mixes paint based on your exact Honda code. They offer everything from small touch-up bottles to aerosol spray cans and even ready-to-spray pints for larger bodywork.
• Dupli-Color: Available at most auto parts stores, Dupli-Color offers "Exact-Match" lines. While they might not carry the absolute newest 2024 codes immediately on the shelf, their Perfect Match aerosol cans are great for DIY repairs.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Another premium online provider that formulates high-quality basecoats and mid-coats specifically tailored for Honda's pearl and metallic finishes.

How to use touch-up paint

For minor chips and scratches, follow these steps to achieve a professional-looking repair:

1. Clean the Area: Wash the damaged area thoroughly. Use a prep solvent or rubbing alcohol to remove any residual wax, grease, or dirt.
2. Apply Primer: If the scratch goes all the way down to bare metal or plastic, apply a dab of automotive primer. Let it dry completely.
3. Apply Base Coat: Shake the touch-up paint vigorously. Apply the color in very light, thin layers using a micro-dabber or the provided brush. Do not glob it on. Allow 15–20 minutes of drying time between each thin coat until the color covers the primer.
4. Apply Clear Coat: Once the base coat is completely dry (usually after an hour), apply a layer of clear coat. The clear coat protects the paint and provides the glossy finish that matches the rest of your Accord.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Colors like Platinum White Pearl (NH-883P) are tri-coats. This means the factory applied a solid white base, a translucent pearl mid-coat, and finally a protective clear coat.

When touching up a tri-coat, you will usually receive two separate color bottles: the base coat and the pearl coat. Apply the base coat first until the scratch is hidden. Then, apply the pearl mid-coat very sparingly. The more pearl you apply, the darker/yellower the patch will look. Practice on a piece of scrap metal or cardboard first to see how many layers of pearl are needed to match your car's specific hue.

For metallic paints like Meteorite Gray Metallic, ensure you shake the bottle frequently during application to keep the metallic flakes evenly distributed in the solution.

If your paint damage is beyond a simple DIY touch-up, don't risk a blotchy repair. Find a trusted body shop on Repairius.
