Honda Urban Titanium Metallic (YR-578M) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the practical yet upscale era of the CR-V and Insight. It is a sophisticated, warm gray that shifts into tones of bronze and deep silver when the sun hits the body lines. Because your car has likely spent a few years on the road, you probably appreciate how this shade hides road grime and dust better than a standard silver. It gives the vehicle a heavy, solid appearance that feels more premium than the typical commuter colors of the early 2010s.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the liquid is packed with tiny reflective flakes. These flakes are what give the paint its depth, but they can be temperamental during a repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will sink and clump together, creating dark patches or shadows that ruin the match. The goal is to get those flakes to lay flat and even across the surface so they catch the light the same way as the factory finish.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Honda Urban Titanium Metallic (check for code YR-578M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will find this code printed on the vehicle identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Always work in a garage or the shade to keep the metal cool. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered panels. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metallic flakes from pooling. Use thin, light layers and allow for plenty of drying time between each pass to build a consistent, professional-looking surface.
