There isn't a single universal part number for Honda touch-up paint. The correct part number is color- and finish-specific and must be obtained from Honda Genuine Parts or a dealership.
Why the part number varies
Honda organizes touch-up paint by color code and finish (solid, metallic, or pearl). Each color code maps to its own part number in the official parts catalog. Because finishes can differ even for the same color name, it’s essential to use the exact color code and model year when ordering.
Ways to obtain the correct part number
There are several reliable routes to get the exact Honda touch-up paint part number for your car. The following options cover official Honda sources and reputable alternatives.
- Honda Genuine Touch-Up Paint bottles that are color-matched to specific color codes; each color code maps to a unique part number in the Honda Parts catalog.
- Honda Touch-Up Paint pens for smaller chips, also color-matched with their own catalog numbers.
- Aerosol spray touch-up kits in the correct color, sold as part of the Genuine Honda lineup.
- Dealer or authorized repair shop can look up the exact part number by providing your vehicle's color code and VIN.
Using an official Honda source ensures the color match and finish (solid, pearl, metallic) are preserved. If you cannot read the color code, a dealer can identify it from the VIN and model year.
How to find your vehicle's color code and the matching part number
Follow these steps to locate the color code on your Honda and then find the corresponding part number.
- Find the paint color code on the vehicle. For most Hondas, the code is on a sticker located in the door jamb of the driver's door, or sometimes under the hood near the strut tower. The code is usually a two- to four-character alphanumeric string (for example, NH-0 or R-84), sometimes accompanied by a color name.
- Note the model year and trim if needed. Some catalog entries distinguish between trim lines or years for the same color.
- Use a Honda Parts catalog or contact a Honda dealer with the color code and VIN. Ask for the “touch-up paint” entry; confirm the exact part number and product form (bottle, pen, or spray).
- If you’re buying from a third party, verify that the color code matches your vehicle and inquire about metallic/pearl finishes, which can require a different part number for the same color name.
- Place the order using the part number and select the appropriate product form (bottle, pen, or spray) along with clear coat if needed.
Once you have the correct part number, you can order directly from Honda or via an authorized dealer or reputable retailer. If you’re unsure, the dealer is the safest route to avoid ordering the wrong color or finish.
Alternative options and considerations
Some drivers opt for non-OEM touch-up products that approximate the color. While cheaper, these may not perfectly match a metallic or pearl finish. If color precision matters (e.g., for a showroom‑quality repair or a rare color), sticking with Honda Genuine Parts is advised.
Summary
The exact part number for Honda touch-up paint depends on your car’s color code and finish. There isn’t a universal number; identify the color code from the vehicle, then consult Honda Genuine Parts catalogs or a dealer to obtain the precise part number and the correct product form (bottle, pen, or spray). By using the official parts path, you ensure an accurate color match and the proper finish for your Honda.
