Where is the paint code on a 2015 Honda Fit?

The paint code for a 2015 Honda Fit is typically found on the Driver’s door jamb Vehicle Information Label as a small two- or three-character alphanumeric code (for example, NH-1).

The 2015 Honda Fit, part of the third generation, uses a standardized color identifer that dealers and body shops rely on to match original factory paint. The exact location can vary by trim or market, but the door-jamb label is the most common source. If that label is damaged or faded, there are a few backup places to check.

Where to find the paint code

Follow these steps to locate the color code on most 2015 Fits. The door jamb label is the standard starting point, with alternative spots listed if needed.

1. Open the driver’s door and look at the frame area where the door latches. The Vehicle Information Label is usually affixed to the door jamb and includes the paint code labeled as “Paint,” “Color,” or simply a code next to “Color Code.”


2. If you don’t see it on the door jamb, check along the edge of the door near the hinges or on the B-pillar, where some trims place the same label.


3. Inspect behind the inside edge of the driver’s side door panel or inside the glove box for a second label that may contain the color code.


4. As a final option, look under the hood on the radiator support or fender area where a small metal tag or sticker sometimes lists the color code, especially on cars with limited door label access.

If you still cannot locate a paint code, note the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and contact a Honda dealer or authorized body shop; they can look up the exact color code for your exact vehicle configuration.

How to interpret the paint code and use it

Understanding the paint code helps you order correct touch-up paint or a full repaint match. Honda uses short alphanumeric codes, commonly two to three characters, sometimes with a dash. Here’s how to proceed once you have the code.

1. Record the code exactly as it appears on the label (including any dashes or letters in uppercase).


2. Use the code when contacting a Honda dealer, auto parts store, or body shop to request a color-match paint. The code ensures you receive the factory color rather than a close approximation.


3. When ordering paint, specify the year (2015), model (Fit), and the paint code to avoid miscoloring for your specific vehicle.


4. If you are unsure what color name corresponds to the code, ask the dealer for the official color name or request the paint chips from Honda’s color catalog to compare with your car.

Note that color shades can vary slightly due to production runs or lighting, so for large repairs or full-body work a professional color match is recommended even if you have the code.

What to do if the label is missing or illegible

Without a legible label, rely on the VIN lookup at a Honda dealer or use a reputable body shop that can cross-reference the color code from manufacturer databases. You can also search online for Honda Fit color charts that map common codes to color names, but confirm with a dealer to ensure accuracy for your 2015 model year and trim.

Summary

For a 2015 Honda Fit, the paint code is most often found on the driver’s door jamb Vehicle Information Label and is a small two- to three-character alphanumeric code. If the door label is unreadable, check alternative labels or consult a dealer with your VIN to obtain the exact color code. Using the correct code ensures an accurate paint match for touch-ups or repairs.
