Default Touch up paint

So I need some championship white (NH0) touch up paint and Honda dealers can not seem to get me any.

I found some home made ones selling on ebay which I am going to have to go with if I can't find a way to get a Honda one.

Maybe I should call an Acura dealer since it's more of an Acura colour?

Does anyone have a website they go to for OEM touch up paint?

that's weird since the touch up pens are made in Canada. Try another dealer or an Acura dealer like you mentioned.

Not sure if this will help you, but I was looking into this site, seems to have a good response http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ aside from that I've had paint mixed at paint circuit many times http://www.paintcircuit.com/ for both my cars and they have done an amazing job. I've had them mix the paint I used to paint my lip with and the match and flake is great.

I got mine (GPW) from Markham Honda. They didn't have it in stock but they ordered it for me. Took a few weeks but i did get it. It was a friend of a friend that ordered it for me so not sure if they did me any favors but worth calling them if ur not too far from them

I picked up Sebring silver and silverstone at the Honda dealer. I make a mix of the two to get the colour just right

The touch up paint that comes in the little glass bottles with a brush is a terrible match on my car, it comes out way too dark as it is a mix of paint and clearcoat. The touch up pens are a perfect match on my sebring silver and I don't bother messing with the clearcoat as it seems to make things worse.

having been down this path last spring looking to touch up the hypeR, I can tell you that Honda dealership will look at you like you are stupid when you ask for champ white paint. They don't even know that the color ever existed. I ended up going to a autobody shop in Waterloo on Northfield and they mixed it up for me and put it in an aerosol can. I think I got 750ML for $17 or something like that. I don't remember the name of the store, but I still have the empty bottle at home. Good luck.

Exactly this. lol. Last one I got was from the UK off ebay. It was an OEM one but ebay is not helping me right now. Champ white is a pain.
