Who is the OEM paint supplier for the 2007 TL-S?

What's up guys, I'm in search of the OEM paint supplier to Acura for the 2007 TL-S, specifically the Kinetic Blue Pearl. I want to get a couple pints of paint so that I can color match my motorcycle to the car. I am capable of painting the bike myself, but I want to make absolutely certain that the paint looks the same, so I'd like to get the paint from the OEM supplier if possible. Anyone know who Acura uses? Thank you.

no need... just get the paint code from your B-Pillar and have it mixed... there are probably multiple formula on that one colour, do a test panel on ur bike to see which one you like best... paint supplier such as DuPont is good.

Go to www.paintscratch.com - they will match any OEM color from the manufacturer code, in aerosol, touchup stick, or actual bodyshop paint.

^That place is pricey. There was another website referenced on here a few times that has the spray can for ~$25.

LMAO!!! So true, but I will say this - my buddies with their Gixxers and Ninjas just HATE the fact that I can ride for an hour and jump off my bike smiling and upright! Besides, I drive an Acura sedan, not exactly a kid's ride either.................
