Honda Crystal Black Pearl Touch-Up Paint NH731P (08703-NH731P-ES) - 0.25 fl oz

When a parking lot ding, road chip, or key scratch cuts through your Honda's Crystal Black Pearl finish, bare metal starts corroding fast. NH731P Crystal Black Pearl is one of Honda's most widely used factory colors - spanning everything from the Civic and Accord to the Pilot and Acura MDX - and this is the genuine OEM-formula pen (part number 08703-NH731P-ES) built to fix that damage before it spreads.

This is not an aftermarket color approximation. It is the same lacquer-based NH731P formula Honda uses on the factory line, which means the color lays down deep, glossy, and matched - not flat, not slightly off, not the kind of repair that draws more attention than the original chip. No mixing, no activators, no guesswork.

How to apply Honda touch-up paint NH731P - step by step:
1. Clean the chip. Use the built-in abrasive prep tip to scrub out any loose debris, dirt, or surface rust from the damaged area. This step is non-negotiable - skipping it is the number one reason touch-up jobs look terrible six months later.
2. Let it dry. Make sure the area is fully dry and free of wax or polish residue before you apply color. If the chip has any rust, treat it first.
3. Apply the color. Shake the pen well, then use the color applicator tip to fill the chip with NH731P Crystal Black Pearl. Apply in thin layers rather than one heavy pass - this gives you a cleaner fill and prevents the paint from sinking as it cures.
4. Wait between coats. Allow each layer to dry for at least 20-30 minutes before adding another. For deeper chips, two to three thin coats will give you a better result than one thick one.
5. Seal with clear coat. Once the color coats are dry, apply the built-in clear coat layer to seal the repair and bring up that glossy finish. This is what locks everything in and protects the repair from weathering.
6. Cure time. Give the repair 24 hours before washing or waxing. Full hardness takes a few days, so avoid pressure washing directly on the spot right away.
Honest take on what this fixes: touch-up paint is for chips, small scratches, and road rash - roughly pencil-eraser size or smaller. If you are looking at a deep gouge, a crease, or damage that runs more than a few inches, that is a body shop job. But for the everyday accumulation of rock chips and small scratches that come with actually driving your car, this is exactly the right tool.

Will this match my specific Honda or Acura?

NH731P Crystal Black Pearl was used across Honda and Acura production from 2009 through 2026 on dozens of models. The color code is printed on your vehicle's paint label, which is typically located on the driver's door jamb. If your label shows NH731P, this pen is an exact match. See the full compatibility list below for every model and year range confirmed for this color code.

Frequently asked questions:

Is this the same paint Honda uses at the factory?

Yes. Part number 08703-NH731P-ES is a genuine Honda OEM touch-up paint product using the factory NH731P color formula - not a third-party color match.

Will this match my 2018 Honda Accord or 2020 CR-V in Crystal Black Pearl?

If your vehicle's door jamb paint code shows NH731P, yes - this is a direct match. Honda used NH731P Crystal Black Pearl continuously across the Accord and CR-V through multiple generations, so the formula is consistent.

Do I need to buy a separate clear coat?

No. The clear coat is built into the pen. You get the abrasive prep tip, the NH731P color applicator, and the clear coat all in one 0.25 fl oz unit.

How many chips can I fix with one pen?

The 0.25 fl oz (7.4 mL) volume handles multiple small repairs. Exact count depends on chip size, but most people get anywhere from 5 to 15 small chip repairs per pen. The cap seals tightly for storage between uses.

Does this work on Acura vehicles too?

Yes. NH731P Crystal Black Pearl was used on Acura models including the MDX, RDX, ILX, TLX, TL, TSX, RLX, RL, ZDX, and the 2025 ADX. Same color code, same formula, same pen.
