How to find Acura paint color?

If you need to find the paint color for your Acura vehicle, there are a few steps you can take to identify the exact color code. This information can be useful when ordering touch-up paint, repainting your car, or matching the color for other repairs.

Locate the Paint Code

The first step is to locate the paint code for your Acura. This is typically found in a few different places:

• Inside the driver's side door jamb - There may be a sticker or label that lists the paint color code.


• Under the hood - The paint code may be stamped on a metal tag or plate near the engine.


• In the owner's manual - The paint code is often listed in the vehicle information section.

Once you've found the paint code, you can use it to look up the exact color name and specifications.

Look Up the Color Name

With the paint code in hand, you can search online for the corresponding color name and details. Many Acura dealers and auto parts stores have databases that allow you to look up the color by the code. You can also try searching for "Acura [your model] [paint code] color" to find the information.

The color name and details will typically include the specific paint formula, any metallic or pearlescent effects, and the year the color was offered. This information can be crucial when ordering touch-up paint or getting a full repaint to ensure an exact color match.

Tips for Finding Acura Paint Colors

• Check the owner's manual first - This is often the easiest way to find the paint code and color name for your specific Acura model and year.


• Search by the VIN number - If you can't find the paint code, try looking up your vehicle by the 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to get the color details.


• Contact Acura customer service - If you're still having trouble, you can reach out to Acura's customer service team for assistance in locating the paint code and color name for your vehicle.

By following these steps, you can quickly and easily identify the exact Acura paint color you need for your vehicle's repairs or customization.

Can I use my VIN to find my paint color?

No, you cannot find your car's paint code by VIN alone, as the VIN is a unique vehicle identifier and does not contain the paint code. However, you can use the VIN to find the code by contacting the manufacturer or a dealership, or by looking for the paint code on a sticker in your car. 
Where to find your paint code

• On a sticker inside the driver's door: Look for a sticker on the door jamb or B-pillar that contains terms like "EXT PNT" or "BODY COLOR CODE," says CarParts.com. 
• On a label under the hood: Some cars have a sticker or placard with paint information in the engine bay, although it can sometimes be hard to read due to age and heat, according to AutoZone.com. 
• In your owner's manual: The paint code is often listed in the service history or owner's manual for your vehicle, notes Holts Auto. 

If you can't find the code on your car 

• Contact the dealership: Provide the VIN to the manufacturer or an authorized dealer, and they can look up the exact factory paint color for you, says JustAnswer. 
• Use online VIN decoding tools: Some online tools and websites can help you find paint codes, but you should always verify the code directly from your vehicle or a dealer for accuracy, as online tools may have inaccuracies, notes Partify. 

How do I find my Acura paint code?

The Acura paint code is located on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb, which is the area on the car's body where the door latches. Open the driver's door and look for a sticker, often black, silver, or white, and find the paint code on it, usually under the barcode.

• Locate the sticker: Open the driver's door and find the information or VIN sticker on the door jamb (the frame of the car where the door closes). 
• Find the code: The paint code is a group of characters (letters, numbers, and sometimes dashes) that is typically found under the barcode on the sticker. Some stickers may have a word like "color" to indicate the paint code, says YouTube. 
• Note: Acura uses the same paint code system as Honda, so the location is the same for both brands.
