What color is your TL?

What color is your TL and what color would you prefer on it if you were going to repaint it?

Mine is like a champagne color, but everybody calls it silver, which is annoying because it's too warm/saturated to be silver, so I started calling it tan, lol. If I were going to repaint it, I'd consider black or mauve. I'm not planning on repainting, but thought this could be an interesting discussion topic. :P

I don't know what the factory name of mine is, but I'd love to know what Acura calls it. Do you know where I could find it? I bought my car used.

Desert Mist Metallic here

There should be a small sticker on the driver's side door jamb indicating the interior and exterior color code and match it to white2.5tl's chart above.

Scratched Swirly Black is what I call mine now with the famous Honda rust spot on the right rear quarter. Hope to tackle that in the next two weeks while it is still manageable. Not bad for a 15 year old Toronto Canada car...

My boss is lending me his detailing kit which should bring back the shine!

I think I have that same spot....

Dang it, Acura, why you call my color silver?! It is not silver, it is more like gold mixed with white! Guys, my color is
Color Code: YR-509P Granite Silver Pearl Clearcoat. :P By the way, when I mentioned "mauve" I was referring to the Desert Mist Metallic. I like that one.

The dark green color of mine might be the same as 9632tl: Emerald Pearl.
Beautiful Dark green, looks like its black at night.
Trying to revive my beauty today, wish me luck and help if you can in my other threads.
I need a new paint job but that's last on a very long list. I would go Black or Emerald Pearl again.

What's wrong with your car, ibGTV? I have to work on mine this weekend to make it pass inspection. My dad and I are going to pop in another headlight and put the bumper back on. I had an accident back in November.

bigwerm, is your profile picture your car after your new paint job? It looks good! I'm usually not a fan of white on cars in general, but the first gen. TL wears it right. That's too funny that you have to wear sunglasses to wax it, lol.
