COLOR CODERP-29P - Raisin PearlHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your 1998 or 1999 Accord carries a shade that most people mistake for black until the sun hits it. This color is a time capsule of late-90s executive style, offering a deep, eggplant-tinted warmth that feels more expensive than a standard commuter car. Since your Honda has been on the road for over two decades, the original finish has likely shifted from sun exposure, so your repair requires a patient hand to blend into the aged surroundings.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish. The mica particles inside the liquid provide that signature glow, but they also settle at the bottom of the container fast. If you do not mix them well, the repair will look like a flat, muddy brown instead of a vibrant purple. This finish relies on light passing through the layers and bouncing off those particles, which means the thickness of your application changes the final shade. Before you spray or dab Honda Raisin Pearl (check for code RP-29P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds.

Best Practices

Open the driver's door and look at the jamb for the identification sticker; you will find the code printed there. When you are ready to work, move your car into a cool Garage or a spot with plenty of Shade. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearl layers develop against your existing paint. For the best match, apply thin coats and keep the container moving to avoid dark spots or heavy buildup. Give each layer enough drying time so the mica can set before you apply the next coat or the final clear layer.
