I wish I could tell you. I just took in a part of my car and asked them to match the color. The car was painted champ white not long ago so my guess would be whatever code that is. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to paint.

No pictures today but I got the
Fuel feed line flared
Fuel filter installed
SS soft brake lines installed
Holes for the shift box drilled/installed
ABS wheel sensors removed
Clutch line quick disconnect installed
Ordered parts from Acura
and I realized how much I hate being under a car that's on the ground.

Painted and flipped the strut tower bar.

New SS bolts for it too.

Clutch line quick disconnect.

Sealed up the HR shifter so no water ect can get in

And found out that Delray Acura customer service sucks.
