Acura SLX Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Acura SLX arrived in the '90s with a palette of 15 colors that perfectly captured the "luxury rugged" aesthetic of the era. They really went for it with the two-tone combinations-pairing shades like Cream White or Radiant Red with a contrasting lower half. Whether you're rocking the deep Fir Green Pearl or the sophisticated Baltic Blue, these colors were designed to look just as good at the trailhead as they did in the valet line.

What to Watch For

Since the SLX spent its life as a tall SUV, the sun has had a long time to beat down on those horizontal surfaces. Keep an eye out for thinning or "cloudy" spots on the hood and roof; that '90s clear coat can get a little weary after a few decades of UV exposure. When you're ready to fix a chip, you can usually find your paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. If it's not there, take a quick peek at the metal plate on the firewall (the back wall of the engine bay), as these rigs sometimes hide their identity there.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these classic Acura shades, like the Light Silver Metallic, rely on tiny metallic flakes to get that factory glow. Before you touch the brush to the car, shake your paint bottle like it owes you money-a full 60 seconds is the minimum to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Drip a tiny dot into the center and let it spread out naturally. It requires patience, but building up two or three thin layers will always look better than one thick blob.
