Where is it located?
Paint codes for all major Acura models are usually located in the driver side door jamb.
  How do I read or interpret the code?
Acura vehicles have a Factory code and a Paint Color Code. The code may contain a mix of letters, digits and dashes. In the sample picture above on the lower right hand corner the factory code is L.

Please note: NH583M-L and NH583M are not the same.

If the factory code is not provided use the (VIN) vehicle identification number. It can be found at the driver's side dashboard. Locate the 11th symbol/character and it will be the factory code.

For example:
- Code on the door jam is NH583M.
- The 11th symbol/character on the (VIN) is L.
- The paint code is NH583M-L
