Anyone know what sort of paint honda uses when painting our cars?

Acrylic enamel?
Urethane?

If you give the paint code, shouldnt the place know what it is?

 

The code is just a color though. I want to know which type of paint it is.

 

hmm...I thought it was all the info...sorry.

 

I am sure honda uses the same type of paint on all of their recent cars.

Honda uses this paint called "****".

 

Why do you say Honda uses "****" paint? From my experiences, Honda uses pretty damn good paint. Please tell me why you think it sucks, im curious.

 

The clearcoat on black honda's sucks. It's fading and peeling off my GSR, and it did it on my older Prelude. Ive seen too many Hondas with shitty clearcoats.

 

Cause it's thin as hell. And they use cheap *** paint. Just in case you didn't notice, hondas aren't exactly luxury cars.. nor are they expensive, you think they are going to put real good paint on them?

My paint is stained, chipped, etc. I took care of it too for the first three months until I realized just how badly it sucked. My 1985 Toyota had better paint when I sold it then my Teg did at the same time.

 

whats the paint code for phoenix yellow?

 

Same here. It used to bother me but now I just don't care.

 

i dont think its enamel cuz a painter told me its illegal to use that now, even though maaco still uses it

 

EPA does not like people using lacquer.

Enamel is not illegal

Every car gets swirl marks sooner or later. It's not the paint just the clearcoat, no worries.

 

Dustin, I believe honda uses a polyerethane paint. This is what Jonny told me from Jonnies body shop here in Sacramento. It was a few years ago so I might be mistaken.

 

OK i figured it was urethane!

Thanks.

 

Honda uses Black & Decker Waterproof paint on their cars....

Nah, to all who say Honda paint sucks, it's the best! My 94 GSR still looks hella bright and shiney when I wash & wax it. You just gotta take good care of your exterior if you want a long last in the paint.

 

Phoenix Yellow paint code:
Y-56

 

I think some of us got some shitty clear coat as mentioned earlier, because I take damn good car of my car and right in front of the sunroof and behind it, the paint is getting dull or hazy looking and dont tell me to try this or that, cause I have tried it already .. its the clear coat bottom line...
