Your Paint Color Profile

NH-711M - Whistler Silver Metallic

The Look

You see this silver on the third-generation CR-V more than anywhere else. It was the defining shade for Honda during the late 2000s, designed to look clean even when you have not washed the car in weeks. Since your CR-V has been on the road for over fifteen years, the original finish has likely weathered plenty of sun and road salt. This silver is practical and hides light scratches well, making it a favorite for daily drivers that need to look decent without constant detailing.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on a load of fine aluminum flakes to create its depth. The biggest challenge with a metallic like this is mottling. If the paint goes on too heavy or stays too wet, the flakes will cluster together and create dark, shadowy streaks that look like tiger stripes. You want the flakes to lay flat and even across the surface so the light reflects back at a consistent angle rather than bunching up in patches.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Honda Whistler Silver Metallic (check for code NH-711M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find the identification plate with this code on the driver-side door jamb. To get the best results, test the color on the included card before you touch the car. When you begin in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles stay distributed. Apply thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time so the finish stays crisp and uniform.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Honda's Color Code

Honda Color Codes are usually found on the Color ID Tag in the driver-side door jamb. It is typically a rectangular label, and the Color Code is usually 2 letters plus 3 digits with a suffix letter, such as NH731P, B92P, YR525M, or NH603P-1. Some Hondas also require the Factory Code for the closest match; check the Color ID Tag for a suffix like -1, -3, -4, or -15, or use the 11th digit of the VIN visible through the windshield on the driver-side dashboard.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
