Honda Noble Green Pearl (G-508P) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This deep forest green defines the transition era of the early 2000s Accord. It is a sophisticated shade that often looks almost black in the shade but reveals a sharp green glow once the sun hits the mica. Because your Honda has likely spent two decades facing the elements, your original finish might have faded slightly compared to the factory-fresh pigment in your hand. This color is excellent at hiding road dust, but it requires a patient touch to get the depth just right during a repair.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish rather than a standard metallic. While metallics use aluminum flakes to shine, a pearl like this uses translucent mica to catch and refract light from different angles. This means the finish is sensitive to how many layers you apply. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the green will appear darker and muddier than the rest of the panel. You need to build the color in thin, even passes so the mica flakes lay flat and uniform across the surface.

Best Practices

You can usually find your color information on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, though some Accords from this era hide the plate under the hood near the suspension strut tower. Before you spray or dab Honda Noble Green Pearl (check for code G-508P), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. This step is vital to wake up the pearl particles that naturally settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how the pigment builds up before you touch the car. When you start your work in the garage, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy spots and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers.
