The paint code varies by model year and market; there is no single universal code for Meteorite Gray Metallic. To identify the exact code for your vehicle, check the factory color label or VIN-based documentation from Honda.
Understanding Meteorite Gray Metallic and its codes
Honda uses specific alphanumeric paint codes to identify each color. Even though Meteorite Gray Metallic describes the shade, the actual code is tied to a production batch and can differ by generation, model and region. Reading the color label is the most reliable method.
Why codes differ by year and model
Color families are reused with slight formula changes; manufacturing regions also maintain separate codes for similar shades. This means a Civic from 2016 may have a different code than a CR-V from 2020—even if the color appears visually similar.
How to locate the exact paint code
Use these steps to locate the precise code for your vehicle.
- Look for the color label on the driver's door jamb or the edge of the door when open; the paint code is a short alphanumeric string (often starting with NH- or similar).
- Check the under-hood engine bay sticker or the trunk/luggage area label if the door jamb label isn’t visible.
- Consult the owner’s manual or service/repair booklet for a diagram of the color code and its location.
- If you can’t find a label, contact a Honda dealer with your VIN; they can retrieve the exact factory paint code for your VIN.
These steps will help you confirm the exact Meteorite Gray Metallic code as assigned to your vehicle.
Notes by model and region
The actual code string can vary depending on whether you’re looking at a Civic, CR-V, Accord, or Pilot, and whether you’re in North America, Europe, or Asia. Because of this, relying on the physical label is the safest approach for ordering matching touch-up paint or replacement parts.
What to do with the code once you have it
Share the exact code with a Honda dealership or auto paint supplier to ensure you get the correct tint, finish (pearl, metallic), and clear coat. If you’re ordering online or requesting a touch-up bottle, provide the year, model, and paint code for accuracy.

Summary
In short, Meteorite Gray Metallic is a Honda color name, but the factory paint code is model-year and region specific. For the exact code on your vehicle, locate the color label on the door jamb or consult a dealer with your VIN. This ensures you order the correct shade for repairs or touch-ups.
