Honda Legend Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Honda Legend may only have 4 recorded colors in this lineup, but they certainly didn't play it safe. They really went for it with high-energy options like Citrus Yellow Metallic and the pulse-pounding New Formula Red. Even when they leaned into the classics like Silver Stone Metallic and Gold Metallic, the finish was designed to make a statement. This wasn't a car built to hide in the back of a grocery store parking lot.
What to Watch For
To find your specific color code, open the driver's door and check the jamb for a black or white sticker; the code is usually tucked right under the barcode. As for the paint itself, Honda's clear coat from this era can be a little sensitive to the sun. Keep a close eye on the horizontal surfaces-the hood, roof, and trunk-as these are the prime spots where the paint likes to thin out or develop those cloudy white patches. Catching a chip early on these "high-sun" areas is the best way to keep the surrounding paint from getting ideas about lifting away.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since you are likely working with a heavy metallic like the Gold or Citrus Yellow, the secret is all in the "shake." Give your touch-up bottle or pen a vigorous workout for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes-it requires a little patience to get them distributed evenly. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill the whole crater at once. Use a tiny dab and let the paint settle into the chip naturally. Building it up in two thin layers looks much better than one thick, bumpy glob that stands out in the sunlight.
