Re: Paint code for Limited Windshield Trim
Maybe the Mopar PS2 with a clear coat.

Re: Paint code for Limited Windshield Trim
I just airbrushed rim scuffs and my windshield trim and have a perfect match from local PPG paint dealer. He used a scanner on the window trim to get a match. Here is what it turned out to be based on his scan:MFG Honda, Brand Code 3HTMB, OEM Code NH411M, CMO499, FORCE SILVER, Basecoat, Clearcoat. Used Clear coat rattle can then when dry, buff pad, 1200 wet and 2 buffing compounds. All by hand. Before I put on the car will do a final buff and wax. The silver is a little hard to shoot as there are 3 sizes of metallic in it. Cant be sanded so final coat must be an even spray, probably easier with a rattle can than an airbrush. Might be able to match the honda colour and buy a rattle can at an auto parts rather than get one mixed. I did the airbrush because that is what I know and I wanted to learn basecoat clearcaot procedures before I get into stone chips etc on the body.

Rattle cans of base and clear are $60/pair on Amazon.

Re: Paint code for Limited Windshield Trim
Hi Dave; I haven't done any testing on interior parts yet as the car is up on blocks. Why don't you bring your bezels down, I'll shoot them for you and we can grab lunch. If it isn't a dead match, it sure is close, should be able to fine tune a match with my airbrush. Bring a finished piece from your interior, best way to do a match.

Re: Paint code for Limited Windshield Trim
Just had all the outside silver done, windshield trim, strakes and door handles. The shop gave me a code of MB 518 single toner fine silver. Maybe check that out, looks like the OEM color to me. Many times though I’ve heard that the XZA is the proper color used. I’m inclined to think so. Every shop will have a similar color from different brands.

Re: Paint code for Limited Windshield Trim
Thanks for the MB paint code lead. I am going to order a 1/2 pint tomorrow if the specs are even close to what I have I'll shoot some tests with my airbrush. Hey Sussudio, did you only have all of the outside pieces shot? Have you compared the finish to any other outside stuff rims?? any inside pieces compared side by side, same light?

2.1 VOC satin clear coat.
The 2004’s are different as they have the glossy finish inside, 05’s onward were a satin finish. No idea why Chrysler, Mercedes or whoever it was, and their infinite wisdom decided to do it. Hopefully this helps though.
