COLOR CODEPB-85P - Premium Gold Purple PearlHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is one of the rarest factory options Honda ever produced for the CR-Z. It acts like a mood ring for your car. In the shade or under streetlights, it appears as a deep violet that looks nearly black. Once the sun hits the panels, the gold mica particles wake up and create a warm, glowing highlight. Since your car has been on the road for a decade, the original paint might have darkened from the sun, so focus on matching the current depth of the panels rather than the factory-new shade.

Technical Details

This is a complex pearl finish, which differs from a standard metallic. Pearl paints use translucent mica flakes that are heavier than standard pigment. If you do not mix them, the gold flakes will stay at the bottom of the container and your repair will look like a flat purple smudge. Because the mica is sensitive to how it lands, you must maintain a steady flow to avoid dark spots or uneven patterns.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Honda Premium Gold Purple Pearl (check for code PB-85P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific paint ID on the sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, located near the latch. Test the color on the included card to ensure the gold shift is visible before you move to the car. Work in a garage or a spot with shade to prevent the paint from setting too fast. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure the mica stays suspended and gives you that factory glow. Allow for drying time between layers to keep the finish level.
