Where to find your paint code
Honda makes it easy to find your paint code. Open the driver's side door and look on the door jamb for the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) sticker. This sticker contains a lot of information about your car, including the paint code. The code is usually found on the lower half of the sticker, labeled as "COLOR." It's a short alphanumeric code, typically a combination of letters and numbers like NH-883P.
Best touch-up paint sources
- Dupli-Color: Widely available at auto parts stores, Dupli-Color offers a range of applicators, from pens for small chips to aerosol cans for larger areas.
- AutomotiveTouchup: This online retailer provides exact-match paint in various sizes, from small bottles to professional spray guns, based on your car's specific paint code.
- Dealer: Your local Honda dealership can provide you with touch-up paint that is a guaranteed match for your vehicle.
How to use touch-up paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover.
- Primer: If the scratch is down to the bare metal, apply a thin layer of automotive primer.
- Base: Apply thin, even coats of the base color, allowing each coat to dry completely.
- Clear: Apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.
Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats
Pearl and tri-coat paints have a depth and shimmer that can be difficult to replicate with a simple touch-up. For a perfect match, it's often best to have a professional body shop handle the repair. If you do it yourself, be sure to use a light touch and blend the edges of the repair into the surrounding paint.
