Honda Premium Opal White Silver Tricoat (NH-902P) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your HR-V wears this color like a piece of high-end consumer tech. It is a chameleon that shifts between a surgical, clean white and a technical silver depending on the angle of the sun. Unlike a standard flat white that can look like a fleet vehicle, this finish adds a sense of depth and weight to the body lines. While your HR-V is still young, you should know that matching Honda Premium Opal White Silver Tricoat (code NH-902P) requires a little more patience than a standard paint because it relies on light passing through multiple layers to create that opal glow.

Technical Details

This is a pearl tricoat finish, which means the magic happens in the middle. You are dealing with a ground coat followed by a translucent pearl layer. The biggest risk here is application thickness. If you apply the pearl layer too heavily, the color will turn darker or more yellow than the rest of the car. Because the metallic particles are incredibly fine, they are prone to clumping if the paint isn't perfectly mixed. If you see dark streaks or "mottling," it usually means the paint was applied too wet or the container was held too close to the surface.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and look for the black and silver sticker on the door jamb to confirm your code. Before you begin, you must shake your container for at least sixty seconds to wake up those settled pearl flakes. Test the color on the included card first; this is where you decide if you need one, two, or three passes of the pearl to get the right shade. To keep the finish even, keep the container moving at all times and maintain a consistent spray distance. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes to prevent the pearl from piling up in one spot. Ensure the surface is cool to the touch and work in the shade for the most consistent drying time.
