COLOR CODEB-95P - Electron Blue PearlHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

If you are working on a classic EM1 Civic Si or a late-model Prelude, you are handling the most iconic shade Honda ever mixed. This is a high-energy, electric color that define the sport compact scene of the late nineties. It is not just a standard blue; the pearl effect gives it a deep, glowing quality that shifts depending on how the sun hits the body lines. Since your car has likely been on the road for over two decades, the original finish might have a different personality than the fresh paint in your hand, so be prepared for the fact that the factory finish often darkens slightly as it ages.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny mica flakes to create that signature depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If they are not perfectly suspended, the color will look blotchy or develop "mottling," which are dark stripes or spots caused by the flakes clumping together. To get the best look, you need a steady flow and consistent spray distance. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the pearls will float to the surface and ruin the uniform look of the finish.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually near the latch or the bottom of the pillar. Before you spray or dab Honda Electron Blue Pearl (check for code B-95P), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. This ensures the pearl particles are fully mixed into the blue base. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay before you touch your car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a garage or the shade to avoid direct sunlight, and give each light coat plenty of drying time before adding the next layer.
