NH-561P paint code

89 UKDM BA4 4WS (resto job!) · Post by **wurlycorner** » Sat Aug 25, 2012 6:16 pm

Was in my local Honda dealer today picking up some bits (and ordering some more) for the Black JDM.

Whilst I was there, I saw on the parts screen a paint code and name, which was different to what I expected. It said "NH-561P Dayno Blue". Asked the bloke to confirm that was paint code on Honda's system for my car and he said it was.

The car is black.
There's no paint code on it (the sticker is missing) but I'd assumed it was Granada Black Pearl (NH-503P). That's the colour panels I've previously bought for it and looked fine and that's the colour I've told the bodyshop to paint it (colour coat started going on beginning of this week) so at this point I was thinking "jobby!"

Did a quick google on Dayno Blue and came back with a fat zero.

Did a google search on NH-561P and it came back saying it's Phantom Grey - a colour I know (and really like!)

So I'm very confused here...
a) The car is definitely black (including on the inner panels etc so it hasn't changed colour since build)
b) The paint code doesn't match the paint colour name - how does this happen on Honda's records?
c) What the heck is Dayno Blue?

Any thoughts on any of this please, people???

Same as all other preludes in the door jam.
