Honda NH737M is a silver-gray metallic automotive refinish color commonly associated with Honda City / Fit-type vehicles using the NH737M color code.
Unlike a generic silver paint, NH737M has a distinctive metallic appearance that changes with viewing angle, lighting conditions, body curvature, and metallic particle orientation.
This ready-mixed automotive basecoat is prepared according to the NH737M color reference, helping body shops and automotive refinishing material distributors reduce the need for a complete toner mixing system and extensive manual color formulation.
It is designed for professional automotive repair applications including doors, fenders, bumpers, hoods, side panels, accident repairs, local refinishing, and vehicle refurbishment.
NH737M is a Honda automotive color code associated with a silver-gray metallic finish.
The color is commonly known in the market as:
The commonly referenced OEM color name is Polished Metal Metallic.
The visual character of NH737M is more complex than a simple solid silver.
Depending on viewing conditions, the finish can show:
For this reason, NH737M should be evaluated as a metallic refinish color, rather than simply as a general-purpose silver.
Silver automotive colors are strongly affected by the way metallic particles are distributed and oriented inside the coating film.
A color can have the correct basic hue but still look different from the original vehicle if its metallic appearance is not properly controlled.
The main factors include:
The size and visual distribution of aluminum or metallic particles affect the apparent brightness and graininess of the finish.
During spraying, metallic particles can orient differently depending on application conditions.
Factors such as:
can influence the final metallic appearance.
Professional metallic color evaluation normally considers both:
Face — the appearance when viewed more directly.
Flop — the appearance as the viewing angle moves toward the side.
A repair color may look close from one angle while appearing too dark, too light, too blue, or too yellow from another angle.
Therefore, NH737M color matching should not be judged from a single viewing angle.
The silver metallic effect can appear relatively bright, with stronger reflection from the metallic particles.
The color can appear deeper and darker, emphasizing the contours of the vehicle body.
Metallic particles become more visually pronounced and the surface can show stronger metallic sparkle.
The color generally appears deeper and more subdued.
The appearance can change across doors, fenders, quarter panels, and body creases because of changing viewing angles and light reflection.
This is particularly important when repairing a curved panel rather than a flat test surface.
Traditional automotive color matching can require a complete toner system.
A typical workflow may involve:
Identify vehicle color code ↓ Find formula ↓ Prepare multiple toners ↓ Weigh individual components ↓ Add metallic toner ↓ Mix thoroughly ↓ Spray test panel ↓ Compare with vehicle ↓ Make color adjustment
For a workshop that only encounters certain vehicle colors occasionally, maintaining a complete toner inventory can create additional cost and management work.
A ready-mixed NH737M product provides a more focused alternative:
Confirm NH737M → Prepare ready-mixed color → Spray test panel → Compare → Repair
This can be particularly useful for workshops handling recurring Honda color-code repairs.
The product is supplied as a pre-mixed vehicle color, rather than as individual toner components that the repair shop must formulate from the beginning.
This can reduce dependence on:
It does not eliminate the professional color-checking process.
For an aged vehicle, the original paint may have changed because of:
Therefore, a spray-out test remains recommended before final application.
Correct color formulation is only one part of achieving a satisfactory repair result.
The application process can also influence the appearance of a metallic silver.
Large changes in gun distance can influence film deposition and metallic orientation.
Uneven gun movement may create areas with different metallic density.
An overly wet film can influence metallic settling and orientation.
An excessively dry application may produce a rougher or less uniform metallic appearance.
The spray gun, reducer, air pressure, application distance, overlap, and environmental conditions should be controlled according to the compatible coating system.
Actual application parameters should be confirmed against the corresponding technical documentation and local workshop conditions.
One of the common visual problems when spraying automotive metallic silver is mottling.
Mottling may appear as:
Possible contributing factors include:
This means a metallic refinish product should be evaluated not only by its color code but also by its application behavior under the actual repair process.
Even with a ready-mixed color, professional repair should follow a controlled color-checking process.
Verify:
Brand → Model → Year → Color Code
For example:
Honda → City / applicable model → NH737M
Check the vehicle for:
Ensure the metallic components are uniformly distributed before spraying.
Apply the color using the intended repair process.
Compare the test panel with the original vehicle under different lighting and viewing angles.
If the aged vehicle differs from the reference color, make the appropriate professional adjustment according to the compatible paint system.
After confirming the color, proceed with the repair and blending process.
This workflow is more reliable than assuming that a vehicle color code guarantees an identical appearance on every aged vehicle.
Suitable for corresponding NH737M door refinishing and localized repair.
Typical workflow:
Repair → Primer / Surfacer → Sanding → NH737M Basecoat → Clearcoat
Suitable for fender refinishing following collision or scratch repair.
The metallic appearance should be checked carefully around body curves and panel edges.
Can be used for corresponding NH737M bumper repair and refinishing, subject to proper substrate preparation and compatible coating-system requirements.
Suitable for refinishing repaired or damaged exterior panels.
Large flat panels can make metallic uniformity particularly visible, so consistent application is important.
Suitable for accident repair and localized refinishing of corresponding NH737M vehicles.
Blending may be required when the existing adjacent panel has aged or weathered differently.
Suitable for professional body shops handling collision repair where the vehicle requires an NH737M color reference.
The product can also be used as a color-base option for vehicle refurbishment where the existing vehicle color corresponds to NH737M.
NH737M is a 1K automotive basecoat.
In practical terms, the colorcoat itself does not require a separate hardener.
Depending on the compatible coating system, an appropriate reducer/thinner may be required before spraying.
A typical automotive refinish structure is:
Prepared Substrate ↓ Primer / Surfacer ↓ Sanding ↓ NH737M 1K Basecoat ↓ Flash-Off ↓ 2K Automotive Clearcoat
The NH737M basecoat primarily provides:
The final surface properties such as gloss, surface hardness, weathering resistance, and UV protection are primarily associated with the compatible clearcoat system.
Therefore, NH737M basecoat should not be treated as a substitute for the final clearcoat layer.

A vehicle's current color may differ from the original reference because of age, UV exposure, oxidation, previous repairs, and environmental conditions.
A test panel should be compared with the actual vehicle before final application.
The final appearance depends on both the formulation and application technique.
Reducer selection, spray parameters, flash time, clearcoat compatibility, and curing conditions should follow the relevant technical documentation.
Oil, dust, rust, moisture, loose coating, and other contaminants can negatively affect the refinish result.
