Honda Fit Touch Up Paint (35 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Honda definitely didn't treat the Fit like a boring economy car; they treated it like a canvas. With a whopping 35 colors recorded, they really went for it-ranging from the sophisticated Premium Deep Violet Pearl to the "I'm definitely in the parking lot" Attract Yellow Pearl and the punchy Orangeburst Metallic. Whether yours is the classic Milano Red or a shimmering Lunar Blue Mist, Honda gave this little hatchback a personality that punches way above its weight class.

What to Watch For

Now for the reality check: Honda paint from this era is known for being a bit "soft," which is a polite way of saying it's a magnet for road debris. You'll likely find most of your battle scars on the short, sloped hood. More importantly, the Fit is prone to what I call "roof sunburn"-the clear coat on the roof and the top of the hatch can start to flake or turn cloudy if it spends too much time in the sun. To get ahead of it, find your specific color code on the driver's side door jamb; it's usually a white sticker and the code will look something like NH-731P or R-81.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors are high-sparkle Pearls or Metallics (like White Orchid Pearl), your prep is everything. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds-then shake it for another 60. You need to wake up those heavy metallic flakes that settle at the bottom. When you're filling a chip, don't try to be a hero and fill the whole hole in one go. Apply a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then come back for a second pass. It requires a little patience, but building up the color in thin "slices" will keep the repair flat and professional-looking instead of looking like a bright blue pimple on your hood.
