Acura RS-X Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Acura really leaned into the "sport-luxury" vibe with the RSX, offering a palette of 11 distinct colors that range from professional to "I definitely spend my weekends at the track." You've got the sophisticated Satin Silver Metallic and Anthracite Metallic for the low-profile daily driver, but then they hit us with the enthusiast favorites like Arctic Blue Pearl and the legendary Milano Red. Whether your car is a stealthy Nighthawk Black Pearl or a bright Taffeta White, these colors were designed to catch the light-and the attention of anyone you're passing on the highway.

What to Watch For

Now, the "but" in this scenario is that Acura paint from this era is known for being a bit sensitive. It's "soft" paint, which means it picks up chips if you so much as look at a gravel truck the wrong way. You'll also want to keep an eye on the roof, trunk, and the area right under the side mirrors; the clear coat here can sometimes get a little "sunburnt" and start to peel back like a snake shedding its skin. If you're looking for your specific color code to get a perfect match, crack open the driver's side door and look at the jamb near the latch-you'll find a silver sticker with the code (look for a sequence like NH-503P). Pro tip: If there's a little letter like "A" or "C" at the end of that code on your sticker, make sure you note it, as it helps identify the specific factory batch.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these RSX colors are "Pearls" (like Eternal Blue Pearl or Redondo Red Pearl), they contain tiny flakes of mica that give the car its glow. These sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle or pen, so shake your touch-up paint for a full 60 seconds-way longer than you think you need to. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like building a tiny tower; apply one thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another until the new paint is just a hair higher than the surrounding area. This keeps the "sparkle" even and prevents a lumpy look.
