ABP Paint Matching

[Rich776-RSX-S]

For any of you that has gotten anything painted Arctic Blue Pearl, does the color match perfect, or atleast very very cloes to perfect with the car. If you did and if its not too much trouble, can you give me the formula that your body shop has when they painted it with that color thanks. I got something painted but it doesn't match as good as I thought with the stock color code I gave them. They told me if you can get a different formula aside from the stock color code, they'll repaint it for free. Thanks in advance.

I got my rear bumper repainted and the itr wing and it matched perfect. I think they used a different formula than the stock code.

they used the exact code. go to an auto paint store. they order it.... it comes in.... it says "arctic blue pearl" right on the side of the can. matches like a champ.

My guy actually mixed the paint but it came out perfectly identical.

Can you get the formula that your body shop mixed up from? Thats what I need to get it repainted. Thanks

I'm terribly sorry for bringing this back from the graveyards, but I have a couple of questions about our paint. I was lead to believe that since our paint coats have a metallic sheen of base coat purple and top coat blue with a clear coat. I was under the impression that there are three steps. Wouldn't that equate to three different types of paint? I say that because when you look up the paint code, you only find one type of paint: B-507P.

no, it's blue, and then clear. :wavey:

Oh wow, I guess paints have evolved. Thanks for the information, this will prove to be valuable reference in the future.
