The exterior paint code for a 2013 Honda Odyssey is printed on the driver's door jamb exterior color label. This code identifies your exact vehicle color and is what you need when ordering touch-up paint or a repaint.
In 2013 Odyssey models, Honda typically places the color code on a small sticker on the driver’s door frame. If the sticker is damaged or missing, there are other common locations and ways to verify the code with your VIN or dealer. The steps below will guide you to the location, how to read the code, and what to do next to get the right paint match.
To locate the color code quickly, check the following spots:
- Open the driver’s door and inspect the sticker on the door jamb or the edge of the door frame. The exterior color code is usually labeled Exterior Color, Exterior Paint Code, or COLOR, followed by a 3–4 character alphanumeric code.
- If you don’t see it on the door jamb, check the driver’s side B-pillar area or the underside edge of the door, where Honda sometimes places the label.
- Look inside the glove box or the trunk lid area for a secondary label that lists exterior color information if the door-jamb label is missing or damaged.
- In rare cases, the code can be found on the radiator support or near the hood latch inside the engine bay. If you still can’t locate it, contact a Honda dealer with your VIN to pull the exact color code for your car.
Having the code lets you order OEM touch-up paint or have a body shop mix a matching color with confidence.
Understanding the paint code and how to use it
The exterior paint code is a short alphanumeric string, typically 3–4 characters long, that identifies the exact color used on your Odyssey. When ordering paint, provide the code exactly as it appears, and supply your VIN if asked to confirm color matches, especially for special or two-tone finishes. You can present the code to a Honda dealership parts counter or a reputable auto body shop to ensure a precise match.
Summary
For a 2013 Honda Odyssey, the paint code is most reliably found on the driver’s door jamb exterior-label, labeled Exterior Color or Paint Code. If the label is missing or damaged, check other nearby labels inside the trunk or engine bay, or contact a Honda dealer with the VIN to retrieve the correct color code.
