Acura RLX Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Acura RLX is a masterclass in "Corporate Sophistication," which is a fancy way of saying they offered 20 different ways to look good in a parking garage. We've got everything from the deep Pomegranate Pearl and Basque Red II to what I call the "Silver Symphony"-a collection of about ten different metallics like Lunar Silver, Forged Silver, and Gilded Pewter. They really leaned into the metallic flakes here; it's a high-end look that proves you don't need a loud color to make a statement.

What to Watch For

Before you touch that chip, swing open the driver's door and look at the jamb for your paint code (it'll start with "NH" or "R," like NH-731P). Pro tip: Look for a small solitary letter like "A" or "B" on the corner of that same sticker. That's your factory code, and it's the secret sauce to getting the right shade. Regarding the RLX specifically, keep a close eye on the roof and the trunk lid. These cars are known to have "soft" clear coats that can start to look a little splotchy or even peel if left in the sun too long-especially on the White Diamond Pearl. If you see a chip there, fix it fast before the sun decides to turn it into a larger project.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many RLX colors are "Pearls" or "Tri-coats," they have tiny mica flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. If you just dab it on, you'll get a flat spot. Instead, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to "wake up" those sparkles. When applying, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Drip a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's a pearl color, two thin layers will look much more factory-fresh than one thick, dark blob. It requires patience, but your hood will thank you.
