Honda Civic (USA Production) Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Honda Civic has worn many hats over the years, and its palette reflects that. With 21 recorded colors for USA production, Honda clearly leaned into the "professional but fun" vibe. We've seen everything from the sophisticated Stratos Blue Metallic and Gothic Gray Metallic to the more adventurous Cardinal Red Metallic. If you feel like your Civic is just one of many shades of the sky or a rainy Tuesday, don't worry-between Grayish Blue Metallic and Medium Gray Metallic, they definitely had a favorite neighborhood on the color wheel.

What to Watch For

If you're looking at your Civic and seeing white, chalky flakes on the roof or "crow's feet" cracks on the hood, you're not alone-it's a classic Civic rite of passage. These cars are known for having paint that's a bit on the delicate side, especially on the horizontal surfaces that bake in the sun. You might also notice the paint likes to thin out or bubble around the door handles and side mirrors. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the jamb (the B-pillar). You'll find a sticker with a barcode; your paint code is usually sitting right underneath it, starting with letters like NH, B, or R.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Honda paint is known for being quite thin from the factory, your best friend is the "layering" technique. When using your touch-up pen or brush, don't try to fill a deep rock chip in one heavy go. If you're working with one of those beautiful metallic shades like Astral Blue Metallic, shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-those tiny metallic flakes like to nap at the bottom of the bottle, and you need them awake to get the right shimmer. Apply a thin coat, let it dry until it's no longer tacky, and then add another. It requires a little patience, but building the paint up slowly will give you a much smoother finish that stays put.
