Where is the paint code on a 2011 Honda Accord?

The paint code for a 2011 Honda Accord is found on the vehicle’s data sticker, usually located on the driver’s door jamb. It’s a short alphanumeric code (typically 2–4 characters) labeled as the color code or paint code.

Where to look for the color code

Key spots to check

Most Hondas place the color code on the data sticker that accompanies the VIN. Start with the driver’s door jamb—the frame next to the door latch—and look for a label that includes PNT, COLOR, or CODE.

• Open the driver’s door and inspect the door jamb (the frame around the door). The data sticker on this area lists vehicle information, including the paint code.


• Look for a short alphanumeric code labeled PNT, COLOR, or CODE on the sticker; the color code is typically 2–4 characters long.


• If you don’t find it on the door jamb, check the glove box lid or the inside of the trunk lid for a secondary data sticker containing the same information.


• In some 2011 Accords, the paint code can also be found near the hood latch or radiator area on a small label attached to the body panel.

If you still can’t locate the paint code, contact a Honda dealer or an auto body shop with your VIN; they can retrieve the exact color code from Honda’s database and confirm the correct shade.

What to do with the paint code

Once you have the code, you can order touch-up paint, request a match from a body shop, or buy a paint pen specifically labeled with that code. Provide the code when purchasing paint or supplies and verify the color name or shade with the clerk if possible.

Note: Paint codes are vehicle-specific. A color name may correspond to multiple codes depending on the year and market, so using the exact paint code is the most reliable way to ensure a correct match.

Summary

The paint code on a 2011 Honda Accord is located on the driver’s door jamb data sticker, typically labeled PNT, COLOR, or CODE with a 2–4 character alphanumeric code. If it’s not visible there, check the glove box, trunk lid, or nearby body labels, and contact a dealer with your VIN to confirm the exact color code.
