2022 Honda-Motorcycle Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Honda-Motorcycle Vibe

By 2022, Honda wasn't just building motorcycles; they were building rolling showrooms. Whether you were piloting a Gold Wing Tour through the Rockies or carving corners on a CBR, the look was "Deep Chrome and Deeper Candy." The palette was dominated by sophisticated, high-energy finishes. We've focused our collection on the true icons of the year-the heavy-hitting reds and blues that made the 2022 lineup pop. If you're sporting Cabernet Red Tricoat or Candy Alizarin Red Tricoat, you know exactly what I'm talking about. These aren't just colors; they're three-layer depth charges designed to catch the sun and hold it hostage.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, a painter could lay down enough lacquer to bury a penny; nowadays, the robots at the factory are so efficient they've turned painting into an Olympic sport of "how little can we use?" The finish looks like a million bucks, but it's lean. Because these are Tricoats (Base + Mid + Clear), that beautiful depth comes from thin, transparent layers. The reality? A stray pebble on the highway can punch through that "Robot Efficiency" finish before you can say "Redline." If you've noticed small, sharp chips on the fairings or the tank, don't wait-once that thin factory seal is broken, moisture starts looking for a way in.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these 2022 gems, remember: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Since you're likely dealing with a Tricoat like Medium Blue Tricoat or Medium Red Tricoat, the secret is in the transparency. If you drop one giant glob of paint into a chip, it'll look like a dark, ugly mole on your bike's skin. Instead, use a steady hand to apply thin "whisper" coats. Let each one dry so the metallic flakes can lay flat. You want to build the color up level with the surrounding paint, not over-stuff it. Patience is the only way to match that factory depth without making it look like a DIY disaster.
