No mis-reading involved - it was on the computer screen and wrote it down directly from that...

Yours is frost white NH538. You will want the yelliwest darkest varient for that year.
no codes in door jams or under the bonnet.

as for the yelliwest darkest varient.... you mean a rusty brown shade of white dont you.

No. Frost white has a lot of yellow in it and over time white goes dark and yellow from sunlight. The best match I got was the darkest varient with extra added yellow.

3rd gens don't rust like 4th gens due do the superior steel used in the 80s before it became mass cheapness.

It's a bit worrying when even Honda drokks up its paint codes.
