Where can I find touch up paint that matches?

MattPD · 05-08-2008, 06:19 PM

I went to the Honda dealer and got some touch up paint for my Galaxy Gray civic. My paint code is NH701M4 which is what they gave me although there is no 4 on the paint code from the touch up paint. He said that didn't matter but the paint is freakin silver. Galaxy gray is almost a champaign color but the paint looks straight up silver, not even a close match, and this is Honda paint from the dealer! Is there anyone out there that has had luck matching there galaxy gray civic?

A different Honda dealership... the one you went to must be full of idiots.

Why is there a 4 at the end of my paint code but not on the bottle or any websites. Is that some variation to the regular color?

I have no idea, just try calling another honda dealership and ask them if they have galaxy grey metallic, if it matches without the 4 then you're good. The other guy was obviously a noob and should be reprimanded.

i was told the number at the end of the paint code is for the supplier.

Anyone use any of these sites? I don't really want to spend money on more silver paint.

www expresspaint com has matching paint. Honda touch-up simply doesn't match. I recently had this same problem and got some from expresspaint and it matches perfectly. Now if I could only paint a little better...
