On my 2008 Honda Odyssey, I see this as the last line on the label at the door:

SHJ 8 AB5 - YR573M -F -B

I went to the dealer to buy touch-up paint and showed them the photo of the label I took with my smart phone. They gave me the paint with this code on the little bottle:

08703-YR573MAH-PN

After I applied this paint to my car, and waited for it to fully dry, the color still looks way too dark compared to the original color. Did the dealer give me wrong paint? Thanks!

 

welcome to the forum. if you gave them the code on your car label on the door, it is the correct color. yes it may be a bit darker due to the origianl paint fades. 08 is about 7 years of paint cooking in the sun. if you want a closer paint color, you can take it to the paint shop that blends the paint to match, but it will cost you a lot more than the dealer..

 

Thank you. That makes sense. I thought "AH-PN" at the end of the color code would make the color different.

 

at a paint shop, they put in paint fade to match the color, the dealer has brand new paint color.
