The paint code for a 2019 Honda CR-V is found on the vehicle’s door jamb sticker, usually on the driver’s side. This short alphanumeric code identifies the exact color mix used on your car.
Where to look for the color code
Start with the most accessible spot and move to secondary labels if needed. Honda places the color code on small labels that accompany the VIN and trim information.
- Driver-side door jamb sticker: Open the driver’s door and inspect the edge of the door frame or the latch area for a small label. The color code will be printed next to a label like “Color,” “Code,” or “Paint.” It’s usually a short alphanumeric string (for example NH-123 or similar, depending on the color).
- Passenger-side door jamb sticker: Some vehicles may have a similar label on the front passenger door jamb.
- Engine bay/radiator support area: If there’s no color label on the doors, look for a secondary sticker somewhere in the engine compartment or on the radiator support/frame near the top of the engine bay that lists the color code.
If you still can't find the code, consult your owner's manual or contact a Honda dealer with your VIN. They can look up the exact color and provide the corresponding paint formulation you need for touch-ups or a full repaint.
Understanding and using the code
Color codes are specific to the exact paint mix Honda used for your car. The code is used by body shops and parts stores to mix the correct color and may be referenced when ordering touch-up paint or spray cans. The code is typically a short string of letters and numbers, sometimes including a hyphen, and is unique to the color family and shade used on your CR-V.
Summary
For a 2019 Honda CR-V, start with the driver-side door jamb sticker to locate the paint code. If that label isn’t present, check the passenger-side door jamb or the engine bay for another sticker listing the color code. With the VIN handy, a dealer or body shop can confirm the exact paint color and provide the proper matching paint.
