What Is a VIN and How It Relates to Paint Color?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code with key details about your Honda, from its model and features to production history. But did you know it can also help you find your car’s exact paint color? While the VIN itself doesn’t list the paint code, you can use it to retrieve this information through official records—like a Honda window sticker. For additional insights you can also check its vehicle history.
