I just picked up a '96 DX coupe 5 speed with 95,000 miles. It is Coral Orange Pearl Metallic. It has been garaged since new, and is in awesome condition. I haven't seen other Civics in this color. How rare is it? Was it only used on '96s?

Just curious.

 

NOFX will know. She should pop in any minute..

 

Anyone?

 

post a picture of your car

 

Here is a link to a couple pics.

hmm... poor paint! try to repaint it

 

sorry dude...ny friends grandma has that color on her civic...dunno how rare it is...seen quite a few in WA

 

There's no such thing as Coral Orange .... it's just called Island Coral Pearl. It's basically pink/orange. It's relatively rare, but not quite as much as Midori.

It can be done right, but mostly, it's just ugly.

 

That's actually a pretty damn ugly color.

Autotrader is wrong. It's not called "Coral Orange" and it's not a metallic.

That page is FULL of wrong information:

Red
Dark Green Pearl Metallic
Grayish Blue Metallic
Coral Orange Pearl Metallic
Island Coral Metallic
Yellow Green Pearl Metallic
Cypress Green Pearl Metallic
Granada Black Pearl Metallic

 

Paint code is R-95P
Island Coral Pearl Clearcoat

And as Eran said, Autotrader is wrong. Autotrader is not an expert on cars. They give minimum info for the average car buyer. The average car buyer wants a rough idea of colors at the most. "Green", "blue", "red", etc.

The color name, in reality, is Island Coral Pearl. The color code is R-95P. Honda uses "P" as the last character of a color code to denote that color being a pearl and "M" as the last character of a color code to denote that color being a metallic.

As far as the number of models it came on.... yes, it's rare in the US. As far as the number of cars total it came on... it's not in the least bit rare.

It came on the following cars:

'96-'97 2DR DX
'96 2DR HX
'96 4DR LX

Though that's not a lot of models, there are a LOT of DX coupes, HX coupes and LX sedans out there.

They're all F20C's ... but european motors have a # after the last digit .... sort of like how the USDM S2000 Motor is an F20C1.

Thank you. Eran is correct.

All USDM and EDM engine codes (at least all modern ones) are in the format of "X00X0". Some JDM engine codes are also like this, though most are in the format of "X00X".

 

paint it.


quick!

It can look good, just not many people even try with it.

First step is, clean it! Do a detail on it and it will look much better.

 

Paint booth asap.

Way to respect people's opinions. If everyone agreed with you, we'd drive the same car.
