2021 Honda-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2021 Honda-Motorcycle Vibe

2021 was a year of deep, soul-searching reds and high-tech "Robot Efficiency." While the rest of the world was home perfecting sourdough, Honda was busy rolling out some of the most striking finishes ever to grace a Goldwing or a CBR. We've focused our collection on the real show-stoppers of this era-the tri-coats that give these bikes their legendary depth. Whether you're rocking the deep, sophisticated Cabernet Red Tricoat, the punchy Candy Alizarin Red Tricoat, or the classic Medium Red Tricoat, these colors weren't just paint; they were a statement that "boring" wasn't on the menu for 2021.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2021, factory robots had become so surgical with their sprayers that they could practically stretch a pint of paint across an entire fleet of Africa Twins. The finish looks like a million bucks under the showroom LEDs, but the reality is a "soft" clear coat that's thinner than a New Year's resolution. You've likely noticed that your 2021 Honda picks up road-rash chips if a pebble even looks at it funny. Because these layers are so lean, the clear coat doesn't have much "meat" on it, making it prone to pitting and early peppering on the leading edges of the fairings and tank.

Restoration Tip

Since 2021 paint is applied with extreme "efficiency," your repair strategy needs to be "patience." When working with these premium Tricoats, build your layers slowly and do not attempt to 'blob' the repair. Because the factory coat is so thin, a single heavy drop of touch-up will sit high and look like a mountain on a prairie. Apply your base, let it flash, and then mist your mid-coat and clear in thin, repetitive passes. You want to mimic that factory-robot precision-minus the corporate budget cuts. Build the depth, don't rush the dry time, and you'll keep that Tricoat shimmer looking like it just rolled off the assembly line.
