Honda Jazz Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Honda didn't just make a car with the Jazz; they made a rolling canvas. With a massive 26 colors recorded, they really went for it. You've got the sophisticated Nighthawk Black Pearl and the crowd-favorite Alabaster Silver Metallic, but then things get fun. Who else gives you Lavender Mist, Sherbet Blue Metallic, or a Helios Yellow Tricoat? Whether your Jazz looks like a sensible commuter or a piece of tropical fruit, there is a specific code out there just for you.
What to Watch For
Now, here is the honest truth from the driveway: Honda paint is notoriously "soft." Because the Jazz has that short, steeply sloped hood, it tends to catch stone chips like a goalie. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little grumpy on the roof or door handles if it's spent too much time in the sun.
To find your match, you'll need to go on a mini scavenger hunt. On older models (pre-2008), look for a metal plate on the crossmember right under the hood (near the latch). On newer versions, check the "B-pillar"-that's the center post you see when you open the driver or passenger door. Look for a sticker or plate with a code like NH700M or B549M.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics," they have tiny flakes of mica or metal living in the paint. These little guys like to take a nap at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your paint pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds-until you hear that little mixing ball rattling like a maraca.
When you apply it, don't try to fill a chip in one big go. Think "thin layers." Dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another layer if it's still sitting low. If you're working with a color like Premium Deep Violet Pearl, it requires patience to get that depth right, but take your time and those chips will disappear into the sparkle.
