Acura Vigor Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Acura clearly felt inspired when they designed the Vigor, giving us 15 distinct colors for a car that only graced our roads for a few years. They really went for it with the sophisticated palettes, ranging from the deep, moody Buckingham Blue Pearl to the earth-toned Rosewood Brown Metallic. Whether yours is dressed in the crisp Taffeta White or the "very 90s" Arcadia Green Pearl, you aren't just driving a sedan-you're driving a time capsule of premium Japanese style.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk about the "Acura Aging Process." Like most legends of the early 90s, the Vigor's clear coat can get a little tired, especially on the flat surfaces like the roof and the trunk lid where the sun likes to bake it. You'll also want to keep an eye on the door handles and the edges of the hood, as the paint here can get thin or start to lift over time. Before you start, open the driver's side door and look at the jamb; your specific paint code is usually tucked right there on a sticker. If it's not there, pop the hood and check the firewall-it's hiding somewhere, I promise.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Vigor colors-like Regal Plum or Cassis Red-are heavy on the pearls and metallics, those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your paint for a full two minutes. If your arm isn't tired, you haven't shaken it enough! When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Think of it like nail polish: one thin layer, let it dry for twenty minutes, then add another. This keeps the "sparkles" sitting pretty instead of clumped together in a dark spot.
