Acura Integra Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Acura clearly wasn't shy when it came to the Integra, recording a staggering 81 different colors over the years. They really went for it, giving us everything from the legendary Championship White and the "look-at-me" Phoenix Yellow to the more moody Black Currant Pearl. Whether your car is dressed in the deep Nighthawk Black Pearl or the electrifying Voltage Blue Metallic, you're driving a piece of sport-compact history. It's a color palette that proves the 90s and early 2000s weren't just about beige-though, to be fair, they did give us Champagne Beige Metallic just in case.
What to Watch For
Now, here is the honest truth: Integra paint has a bit of a reputation for being a "quitter" when it comes to the sun. You'll often see the clear coat starting to peel or turn cloudy on the flat surfaces like the roof and the trunk lid. If you see a little flake starting, don't ignore it-it's like a loose thread on a sweater. You can find your specific paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. It usually starts with a letter and a few numbers, like NH-583M. Check that code before you buy your paint, because Acura has about a dozen different shades of "white" and "silver" that all look identical until they're sitting next to each other on your hood.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Integra colors are pearls or metallics (looking at you, Caspian Green), your secret weapon is the "The Shake." Those tiny sparkles inside your touch-up bottle love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up the metallic flakes. When you're using the brush or pen, think "thin and patient." Apply one very light layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. If you try to fill a deep chip with one giant glob, it'll end up looking like a blueberry on a pancake. Take your time, and those sparkles will lay down exactly where they belong.
