Root Beer Metallic is YR-569M. I'm about 90% sure the car pictured above is not the Honda root beer color, though, but perhaps a HOK color. I think that's what the owner said a while back.

If you want a Brown or Rootbeer that really pops in the sunlight and still looks good in low light I recomend HOK ( House of Kolor) they have both a true Kandy Rootbeer, as well as a more user friendly KBC Rootbeer. I have used both and they both look great.

My good friend owns that Element SC and, honestly, the paint isn't appealing when it's dirty or when the sun isn't out. If it's clean and in direct sunlight it is amazing.

Yeah, I know that I´m digging up an old topic, but didn´t find a newer one about RBM so I thought I´d ask here.

Does anyone know for sure if Root Beer Metallic and Copper Glow Metallic are the same colour..? I went to a local paint shop today with the colour code mentioned in the start of the topic (YR-569M), and their computer said it´s Copper Glow Metallic..

Anyone got any idea on if Copper Glow Metallic is the same colour as Root Beer Metallic..?

I want to paint my Sol with RBM, but when we looked at the colour code "YR-569M" from the computer at the paint shop that will paint my car they only found a colour called Copper Glow Metallic with that code.

Edit: Woops, just realized I had already asked that without any luck.. Well anyways, does anyone know this?
