Honda Civic Touch Up Paint (220 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Honda has recorded a staggering 221 colors for the Civic, and they really went for it. For every three "sensible" shades like Alabaster Silver Metallic or Modern Steel, they threw in a wild card that demands attention. We're talking about the legendary Electron Blue Pearl, the radioactive Energy Green Pearl, and the "can't miss it in a parking lot" Phoenix Yellow. Whether you're driving a classic Milano Red hatch or a Nighthawk Black Pearl sedan, your Civic has plenty of personality under that clear coat.

What to Watch For

The Civic is a legend for reliability, but its paint can be a little sensitive to "sunburn." If you have an older model (especially in darker shades like Fiji Blue or Crystal Black), you might notice the roof or trunk lid starting to look a bit chalky or as if the skin is peeling after a bad beach day. Don't panic-catching these spots early with a touch-up prevents the metal from getting exposed to the elements. To find your specific color match, open your driver's door and look at the pillar (where the door latches). You'll find a sticker with a code that usually starts with "NH" or "B," like NH-731P.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Civic colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics," they have tiny sparkles suspended in the paint that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you start, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those flakes. When applying, remember that three thin, whisper-light layers are always better than one thick blob. If you're working on a "Three-Stage" color like Platinum White Tricoat, it requires patience: apply your base color first, let it dry, then add the pearl topcoat slowly to build up that factory glow.
