Your Paint Color Profile

7136 - EX Gray (bumper)

The Look

This is the workhorse color for the final generation of the Honda Element. When Honda decided to move away from the raw, unpainted plastic cladding of the early years, they chose this metallic tone to give the EX trim a more cohesive and refined appearance. It provides a rugged, industrial aesthetic that suits the utility of your car. Since your Element has likely spent years hauling gear or facing the sun, this gray is fantastic at hiding small scuffs and road grime that would stand out on a darker finish.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint is filled with tiny flakes that provide its depth and shimmer. These flakes are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a flat, dark gray that looks nothing like the rest of your trim. Metallic paints also carry a risk of mottling-where the color looks blotchy or striped-if the application is uneven. Because this paint goes on bumpers and plastic trim, it is designed to be flexible, but it still requires a steady hand to ensure the flakes lay down flat.

Best Practices

Before you apply Honda EX Gray (bumper) (look for code 7136) to your panels, find the identification sticker on the driver side door jamb to confirm your match. Shake your container for at least two full minutes to get those metallic flakes into the flow. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is right before moving to the car. Whether you are using a Nozzle or a Brush, work in a cool Shade or a Garage to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Keep the container moving to avoid heavy spots, and give each layer enough Drying time so the finish remains crisp and level.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Honda's Color Code

Honda Color Codes are usually found on the Color ID Tag in the driver-side door jamb. It is typically a rectangular label, and the Color Code is usually 2 letters plus 3 digits with a suffix letter, such as NH731P, B92P, YR525M, or NH603P-1. Some Hondas also require the Factory Code for the closest match; check the Color ID Tag for a suffix like -1, -3, -4, or -15, or use the 11th digit of the VIN visible through the windshield on the driver-side dashboard.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
