Honda-Motorcycle is the source for determining the paint color code, obtainable by calling to see if they can identify it. If no color code exists, the alternative reference is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.

Your Paint Color Profile

White

The Look

The mid-eighties was a decade of bold experiments for Honda, but this particular shade served as the clean, reliable foundation for the entire fleet. Often called Shasta White, it was the canvas for the iconic racing stripes on the Interceptor and the primary finish on the touring legends of the era. Because it was used across nearly every model in 1986, it has become one of the most recognizable colors in the history of the brand. It is a bright, neutral white that makes any bike look larger and more visible on the road, though after decades of riding, your original paint may have developed a slightly warm, creamy patina from sun exposure.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearls to complicate the repair. The lack of sparkle makes it much easier to match than more modern paints, but it also means the finish is completely honest. It will not hide imperfections or poor prep work. Solid whites are notorious for showing every drop of chain lube and road tar, so the ownership experience requires a bit more frequent cleaning to keep that crisp look. Since there are no flakes to worry about, you do not have to worry about the color looking darker or lighter from different angles, which is a massive win for a quick repair.

Best Practices

Your paint code is almost always found on a small white sticker located on the frame rail under the seat or tucked near the rear fender. Before you spray or dab Honda-Motorcycle White (check for code NH-138), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds to ensure the pigments are perfectly mixed. Always test the color on the included card to see how well it matches the current state of your aged paint. Work in a cool garage or the shade, as direct sunlight will cause the paint to dry too quickly and leave a rough texture. Whether you are using a pen or a nozzle, keep the container moving in steady strokes to ensure the flow is even. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Honda-Motorcycle Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Honda-Motorcycle is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Honda-Motorcycle color code 'NH-138' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
