Acura Touch Up Paint

First introduced to the United States and Canada in 1986, Acura manufactures high-end cars for its parent company Honda Motor Company. Acura, the first luxury automotive brand developed in Japan, is best presented according to their slogan - Acura. Precision Crafted Performance. The brand quickly conquered the American market with models including the executive class Legend and the compact class Integra.

In the following years, benefiting from the Honda F1 racing research, the brand expanded its offering with the NSX. This sport model introduced Acura's signature VTECH technology and accomplished success in competing with German and Italian engineering. Pursuing in the direction of the NSX, the brand dropped its model names such as the Legend, the Vigor and the Integra in favor of an alpha numerical nomenclature.

In the early 2000's Acura redesigned its models launching the very popular TL and MDX. This modernization allowed the brand to get back to its former glory.

With the quality and design of these cars, it is well worth the time to maintain your Acura looking like new (or like it's part of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Fleet) with factory matching touch up paint.

What tools do I need for a touch up paint job?

Touch Up Paint Tools including Pollishing compound, sand paper, tack cloth, clearcoat, basecoat, primer and wax and grease remover wipe

To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:

PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.

WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.

SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.

TACK CLOTH - The tack cloth removes dust and dirt before painting.

POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.

These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.

How to find your Acura Paint Code?

For all Acura models, the paint color code is typically located in the driver side door jamb, but in some cases can be on the passenger side door jamb. The paint code will not be the literal name of your vehicle”™s color but rather a string containing both letters and numbers.

In order to restore your Acura to its original factory finish, you need to use touch up paint that matches your color exactly. At TouchUpDirect, we are able to perfectly reproduce this color with a little help; we need to know the paint color code and/or color name that can be found within your Acura vehicle. Once you have your paint color code in hand, you can use the TouchUpDirect paint finder to start the process of restoring your Acura to its original beauty.
