HONDA car paint 

When you want to renovate or repair the paint on your bodywork, then there are one or more products to buy. Above all, we are thinking of the paintwork carried out according to the color codes of Asian cars and in particular, the color codes of Honda cars. However it may also be necessary to have a primer, and also in most cases, a clearcoat.
The realization of the different stages of the manufacturer's paint according to a Honda code, is relatively easy and accessible to anyone, from the moment the applicator has read all the instructions relating to the paint, that is to say its mixing and its application, but also above all the good preparation of the support.

To order paint with your Honda color code, the procedure is quick and easy : simply determine and select the desired packaging from the drop-down menu on the product page below. It can be a can of paint or an aerosol.
You must then mark your reference, that is to say the code made up of numbers and letters, in the box provided for this purpose, or simply, with an email sent just after you have finished the order.
Our team prepares the painting immediately if your order is placed before 3 p.m. 30 minutes later, the parcel is dispatched and you receive it in 24 hours in France or in 48/72 hours in Europe.
To choose the right quantity, and to make it short and simple, it takes about 1L of paint to paint 5 m². If your room does not exceed 1 m², then you can choose the 250 ml packaging.
We also offer 500 ml formats and kits, which are composed of 2 products, the pure paint and its thinner. The first 250ml or 500ml packaging are ready-to-use paints, that is, they are already diluted and ready to paint.

Honda car color codes

You know the reference of the color present on your car, so here are the instructions, or rather the steps summarized for the application of the paint on the bodywork. If you do not know the code of your vehicle, then go to the next paragraph, where we give some indications to find the reference of the paint of your vehicle.

Do you need a primer before setting ?
No, in most cases. Indeed, if the surface of your bodywork is in good condition, that is to say that it does not include bumps or large scratches, then you must apply the paint directly on it, after of course having prepared at least the surface. The preparation consists of a quick and light surface sanding with a 500 grit sanding sheet.
If your bodywork has suffered a few shocks, there is repair and application of a mastic, or if your bodywork has scratches, then in these two cases, it is necessary to apply a primer, which is also called a filling primer. This primer will fill the surface, and then we will sand it to make it disappear and obtain a perfectly smooth background.
The Honda color code paint is a simple paint to apply. There is not much risk of running with modern solvent-based paints. Indeed, all contemporary Honda colors are metallic or pearlescent paints : we therefore supply them in a “base to varnish” paint version.
Paints, whose Honda color code dates from before the 2000s, are sometimes of the gloss lacquer type. They come with a hardener and are applied in a different way, a bit like varnishes, that is to say in 2 thick and shiny coats spaced 10 minutes apart.
On the contrary, matt base paints to be varnished, which are also called two-layer paint (one layer for the paint, one layer for the varnish) are applied in a few very thin layers, without having to wait plenty between each coat. They must be varnished quickly afterwards.

History of the manufacturer Honda

The Japanese Honda Motor Corporation is a multinational that manufactures motorcycles, engines and electrical equipment, but also has manufactured vehicles.
The founder of the same name was a car enthusiast. At the time, he was working in a mechanic's garage : he spent his time customizing vehicles (tuning) and having them take part in speed races. In 1937, thanks to the help of a member of his family, he was able to create his first manufacturing and machinery company to produce pistons. Honda is very inventive in the field of engineering, that is, in the production of machines for the automatic production of parts. After the Second World War, and also the acquisition of 40% of the company by Toyota, Honda entered the second half of the 20th century with a great deal of experience and renown. It was then that Honda embarked on the adventure of manufacturing motorcycles, always with as much energy and passion.
Until the late 1960s, Honda was the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer: imagine that the company produced nearly 400 million units today. It was also the world's leading manufacturer of combustion engine components. It still produces around fifteen million engines each year.
In Japan, it became in 2001 the number 2 in the country in terms of automobile construction. In its country, it was also the precursor for the creation of luxury vehicles or sedans, in particular with the ACURA brand, presented to the public in 1986.

Where to find the color code of your Honda car ?

For HONDA brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the color code (vinplate) can be found in five different places:
- Inside the engine compartment, inside the hood, against the bottom of the windshield.
- On the left front door leaf on the driver's side.
- On the left rear door leaf on the driver's side.
- In the glove box.
- In the trunk at the level of the left rear headlight on the driver's side or inside the door.

You can take help from the images provided below which illustrates the location.
The color code is always composed of three characters (letters or numbers).

Painting a car, a motorbike, is it easy ? It's all about preparation and cleanliness. And also handling the gun or the aerosol (visit our blog for more advice !).

The iconic colors of Honda cars

Today, the Honda brand is paired with the ACURA brand, its luxury vehicle arm, when it comes to content in its body color database.
Vehicle colors are classified internationally according to a harmonized code, which consists of several letters and numbers, always accompanied by a name for the color.

Here is an example of Honda car paint :

B84P                SUPER MARINE BLUE HONDA/ACURA          1996 - 1999
B90P                SUPERSONIC BLUE HONDA/ACURA              1997 - 2003
FD95-9108P    SUPER BLACK HONDA/ACURA                       2005 -
NH704M          SUPER PLATINUM HONDA/ACURA                  2005 – 2021

We find there in a classic way the color code, the name which is one of the ways of identifying the color, the brand, and finally, the year of the release of the paint.
For regulars, it will be easy to recognize that certain colors are used both on car-type vehicles and also on motorcycles.
