Reference: OEM Color Codes

[NOFX]

Please keep in mind that not all years are correct! The information I have here originally said Polar White Z, for example, only came on 1990 models (possibly only Canadian models). I currently own a USDM 1988 CRX HF that is this color. The car was built in Japan.

So some information might not have all the correct years.

[Mxpx182lit]

[Eg_Project]

yup....good info....

 

[(ivi(Si]

nice info good thin u posted this i was going for a paint job soon

 

[EM1_ProJect]

damn dude...thats so many colors, i had no idea!

 

[anfrey]

wow, very nice research amy

 

[bman]

good work... im gonna need one of those codes soon so thanx

 

[Gwapz]

my mistake actually NH-617M is Lighting Silver Metalic......

 

[Nok]

Awesome list NOFX! I was actually looking for those codes and could not find a decent list anywhere. Thanks!

 

[ocbasbalburg]

nice info... one question though.. i am about to have my front lip and side skirts painted by a nearby shop. Would i only have to give them the paint code NH-583M and they will be able to figure it out? or do they still need to match it up?

 

[CHiNkStEr]

i have a RED 92 si hatch and the color code is R-81. i was wondering what is the color code on a RED 94-95 EX coupe? again, im looking for the RED color code on a 94-95 civic ex coupe.

 

[ocbasbalburg]

hey nofx, do you know if i go to a body shop and give them my code, will then be able to match the paint with my car, or will they need a bodypiece to compare it to. Thanks

 

[ocbasbalburg]

haha, alright thanks... I just wanted to know cuz i am going to get my lip and side skirts painted and i hope that all they need is the paint code

 

[anfrey]

you can give them the code... BUT you need to have them compensate for FADING. your paint's not gonna like like it's right out of the factory unless you've taking extremely good care of it.

 

[ocbasbalburg]

Yeah, i assumed that the color would have faded a little, but at least it is silver. Most silver cars look very similar. Plus, i don't need it exactly perfect becuase it is only side skirts and a front lip. THanks though... now i don't have to worry about taking something else off my car so they can match it

 

[neaky]

I have a 95 civic sedan with the paint code BG31P, I cant remember the name. You have that paint code in your list for 94-95 accords. I'll post the real name for that paint when I remember it. Great lists.

 

[neaky]

I looked it up, the color is called Malachite Green Pearl. If your interested in seeing pics check out my cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/id/neaky
