2015 Honda Touch Up Paint (42 OEM Colors)

The 2015 Honda Vibe

By 2015, Honda was practically running a boutique paint shop on the assembly line. Whether you were hauling the kids in an Odyssey or trying to look sporty in a CR-Z, you weren't stuck with just "silver." Our database tracks a massive 42 colors for this year-a palette that went way beyond the basics. We're talking about high-character pigments like Tiger Eye Brown Pearl, the punchy Attract Yellow Pearl found on the Fit, and the sophisticated Kona Coffee Metallic. It was an era where even the Crosstour and Pilot were getting treated to complex mica and pearl mid-coats that make modern "flat" colors look lazy.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2015, the factory robots had been calibrated with surgical precision-which is a polite way of saying they applied the absolute bare minimum of product to get the car out the door. While the engineering under the hood of your Civic or Accord is legendary, the clear coat on the roof and hood is likely screaming for mercy by now. This era is notorious for "crow's feet" checking and clear coat delamination, especially on darker shades like Obsidian Blue Pearl or Crystal Black Pearl. If your Honda has spent its life baking in the sun, that thin factory shell is probably brittle and prone to "road rash" stone chips that go straight to the metal.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these mid-2010s finishes, remember that you're working with thin-film technology. Those robots didn't leave you a lot of depth to play with. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you try to fill a deep chip in one heavy pass, you'll end up with a raised welt that's a nightmare to level out. Instead, apply thin, patient layers of color, letting the metallic flakes in shades like Alabaster Silver Metallic lay down naturally. Give it time to flash off between coats, and you'll get a repair that sits flush with that lean factory finish rather than looking like a DIY disaster.
