Acura NDX Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Acura kept things sophisticated and sleek with the NDX lineup, offering a tight collection of 5 colors. We're looking at a palette that's more "executive boardroom" than "neon track day," featuring classics like Crystal Black Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, and the deep Obsidian Blue Pearl. They essentially gave us the automotive equivalent of a well-tailored suit-timeless, but it definitely shows every speck of dust (and every stray shopping cart ding).
What to Watch For
Acuras are known for many things, but "bulletproof paint" usually isn't one of them. The clear coat tends to be on the softer side, meaning your hood is a magnet for tiny rock chips, and you might notice some early wear around the door handles or the edge of the liftgate. If you're hunting for your color code to get started, don't overthink it: swing open the driver's side door and look at the jamb. You'll find a sticker with a barcode, and your code-usually starting with "NH" or "B"-is sitting right there at the bottom.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since most of these colors (like Platinum White Tricoat or Modern Steel Metallic) are packed with pearl and metallic flakes, your biggest hurdle isn't the color-it's the "sparkle" settling at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds. Then, instead of trying to fill a chip in one go, apply a tiny drop and let it sit. If it still looks like a crater, wait 20 minutes and add another drop. Patience is what makes a repair look like a "factory finish" instead of a "Friday afternoon mistake."
