COLOR CODEB-58M - Concord Blue MetallicHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade defined the early nineties Honda aesthetic, leaning heavily into the teal-blue trend that dominated the era. If you own a classic Accord or Civic from this period, you are likely dealing with three decades of sun exposure. Because your car has been on the road for so long, the original finish has probably faded or oxidized. You should expect this new pigment to look slightly deeper and more saturated than the weathered panels currently on your vehicle.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint relies on microscopic flakes to create depth. The challenge with metallics is mottling, where the flakes clump together to create dark, cloudy patches or uneven stripes. This usually happens if the coat is applied too heavy or if the surface remains wet for too long, allowing the metal bits to shift before they set. Achieving an even look requires patience and light layers rather than a single thick pass.

Best Practices

You can find your color confirmation sticker on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Honda Concord Blue Metallic (check for code B-58M), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom, so thorough mixing is the only way to get a true match. Test the color on the included card first to verify the shade. During application, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the surface. Allow plenty of drying time between light coats to prevent the metallic particles from sinking and ruining the finish.
