Honda Meteorite Gray (NH-904M) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential modern Honda color. Since your Civic or CR-V has been on the road for a few years, you have likely noticed how this shade balances a professional vibe with real-world practicality. It is deep enough to look expensive on an Accord but neutral enough to hide the layer of dust that inevitably settles on an Amaze. It is a mature, liquid-metal look that replaced the older, flatter grays of the previous decade. Because it is a darker value, it shows off the body lines of the newer Honda frames particularly well.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to catch the light. Metallic paints are notorious for a phenomenon called mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark splotches or "tiger stripes." If you do not maintain a consistent flow, the finish will look uneven once it dries. You want those flakes to lay down flat and uniform across the surface. This color also relies heavily on a clear topcoat to bring out the depth of the gray; without it, the repair will look dull and won't match the surrounding panels.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the pillar or the door jamb for the ID plate to confirm your match. Before you spray or dab Honda Meteorite Gray (check for code NH-904M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the metallic flakes are suspended properly in the resin. Test the color on the included card to see how it reacts to your specific lighting. When you begin, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy spots. Work in a Garage or the Shade to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time too aggressively. Apply thin, light layers rather than one heavy coat to prevent the metallic particles from sagging.
