Honda Delsol Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Honda Del Sol was the 90s in a nutshell: fun, sun-seeking, and occasionally dressed in some very bold choices. While Honda only recorded 5 official shades for this targa-top legend, they really made them count. You're likely holding a bottle of the iconic Milano Red, the moody Granada Black Metallic, or perhaps the quintessential 90s Cypress Green Pearl. Whether your car is a subtle Vogue Silver or a deep Adriatic Blue, these colors were designed to pop under the bright light of a coastal highway.

What to Watch For

Now, the reality check. Honda's paint from this era is a bit like a cheap umbrella-great until the sun gets too intense. If you own a Milano Red model, you might notice your car is slowly transitioning into "Milano Pink" due to UV exposure. Furthermore, keep an eye on the targa top and the trunk lid; these flat surfaces are prime real estate for the clear coat to start turning white or flaking off in thin sheets. Before you start your repair, pop open the driver's side door and look at the jamb (the B-pillar). You'll find a small sticker with your paint code-usually a letter followed by a string of numbers, like "R-81" or "NH-503P."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most Del Sol colors-like the Cypress Green and Adriatic Blue-rely on pearls and metallics to get that deep shimmer, you need to wake those particles up. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds (actually time it!) to ensure the "sparkles" aren't all sitting at the bottom. When you go to fill a chip, don't try to fix it in one go. If you drop a huge blob into a chip, it will dry like a tiny mountain. Instead, use thin, delicate layers and give them 15 minutes to dry in between. If the match looks a little "bright" compared to your 30-year-old paint, don't panic; it just requires patience and a little more drying time to settle in.
