Honda Black Bronze Pearl (YR-601P) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Passport was a showroom standout with this finish, as it served as a key launch color for the model's return. This shade plays a game of hide-and-seek. In the shade or on an overcast day, it presents as a deep, muted black. Once you pull into direct sunlight, the metallic bronze particles surface to create an earthy, copper-toned glow. It gives the vehicle a rugged, outdoor character that hides trail dust well but demands precision when you need to fix a chip.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to catch the light. The challenge here involves the distribution of that bronze shimmer. If you apply the paint in a thick layer in one pass, the flakes sink and bunch together. This creates a dark, muddy spot that fails to match the surrounding area. You are looking to build depth through thin layers. This allows the metallic particles to lay flat and reflect light as intended, maintaining that color shift from black to bronze.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Honda Black Bronze Pearl (check for code YR-601P), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure the heavy bronze pigments are suspended. You can find your specific paint code on the white ID sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to confirm the shade matches the finish. Keep the container moving to prevent the pearl flakes from pooling. Allow for drying time between your light layers to achieve a clean result in the shade of your garage.
