COLOR CODENH-663M - Satellite Silver MetallicHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color appears on the 2007 Civic and serves as a durable choice for a daily driver. While many silvers aim for a cold, blue steel look, this finish carries a subtle, warm undertone that differentiates it from the standard Alabaster shades. Since your Civic has been on the road for years, you will appreciate how this shade masks fine scratches and everyday road grime. It provides a clean, industrial appearance that makes an older commuter look well-maintained.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny suspended flakes to reflect light and create depth. These flakes are denser than the pigment, so they tend to settle or clump if applied in thick coats. If you hold your hand still, you will end up with dark patches or stripes known as mottling. To avoid this, you need to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even, which requires a steady hand and patience between layers.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Honda Satellite Silver Metallic (check for code NH-663M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to redistribute the metallic particles. You can find your specific code on the manufacturing sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to ensure the shade matches your weathered finish. Work in a cool garage away from the sun, and keep the container moving to maintain a steady flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Thin layers look better than one thick one, so allow plenty of drying time after each pass.
