Honda Civic (Canada Production) Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Canadian-made Honda Civic didn't just move people; it did it with a surprising amount of personality. While most folks remember them in silver, the production lines in Alliston, Ontario, actually pumped out 10 distinct shades. They really went for it with colors like the regal Florence Blue Metallic and the vintage-cool Almond Cream. Whether you're rocking the fiery Rio Red or the sophisticated Chateau Red Metallic, these cars were proof that a reliable commuter could still have a soul.

What to Watch For

But here is the reality: Honda paint from this era is famously "soft," and Canadian winters are famously "hard." Between the road salt and the sun, the clear coat on the roof and trunk can get a little shy and start to flake away. You might also notice small chips blooming on the leading edge of the hood. To make sure you've got the right match before you start, open the driver's door and look at the jamb (the B-pillar). You'll find a sticker with a barcode-look for the alphanumeric code labeled "COLOR" (something like NH-526M or B-37M).

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're ready to dab on your touch-up paint, remember that patience is your best friend. For those gorgeous metallic shades like Blade Silver or Laguna Gold, shake your bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, apply two or three very thin layers, letting each one dry for about 15 minutes. It's better to have a slightly shallow repair than a "mountain" of paint that stands out more than the scratch did!
