Where to Find Your Paint Code
For the 2020 Honda CR-V, the paint code is located on the driver's side door jamb. You'll find it on a black sticker that also contains the VIN and other vehicle information. The paint code is typically a combination of letters and numbers, often starting with "NH" for Honda.

How to Use Touch-Up Paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired with soap and water, then wax and grease remover.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the area.
- Base: Apply the color coat in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.
- 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 can be tricky to match. The "pearl" effect comes from tiny ceramic crystals in the paint that reflect light differently depending on the angle. For a seamless repair, it's often best to blend the new paint into the surrounding area. This involves lightly spraying the new color over the edges of the repair and onto the original paint. For tri-coats, this process is even more complex, involving a base coat, a mid-coat (the pearl layer), and a final clear coat. For these types of repairs, professional application is recommended for the best results.
