Honda Electric Vehicle Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Honda clearly leaned into a "high-end forest retreat" vibe for their Electric Vehicle lineup. With five earthy, sophisticated tones recorded-including the lush Sequoia Green Pri Metallic, the misty Emerald Mist Pri Metallic, and the surprisingly cozy Nutwood Brown Pri Metallic-they really went for a natural look. It's a refreshing change from the "appliance white" we see on so many other EVs, though it means you've got some beautiful metallic flakes to keep an eye on.
What to Watch For
Now, for a quick reality check: Honda is legendary for engineering, but their factory paint is known for being a bit "soft." This means your EV's aerodynamic nose is basically a magnet for tiny road pebbles. You'll also want to keep an eye on the charging port door and door handles, as frequent use can lead to little scuffs. To find your exact match, open your driver's side door and look for a sticker on the jamb; your paint code is usually a string of letters and numbers located right at the bottom of that tag.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since these colors are "Pri Metallic" (which is industry speak for "extra sparkly"), the most important tool in your kit isn't the brush-it's your arm. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 to 90 seconds to wake up the metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: several whisper-thin layers are always better than one giant blob. If you're filling a deeper chip, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat until it's level with the rest of the car. Patience is your best friend here!
