Does anyone know the color code of the gray?

Long story short:

send a mail to Honda and they said go to your dealer.

dealer said we don’t have the color, we need to send the part to a painter and they make the color

friend of mine is painter but the device is to big to scan the color

many advise would be appreciate

you can try and touch it up, however I don't think the paint will stay on for long, and it needs to be a paint that is formulated for higher temperatures. Factory paint is probably powder coated and baked afterward, like enamel for pots and pans. You should stop by a paint shop and ask the pro's.

If you paint that you're going to create short term beauty and long term disaster. I contemplated this myself a few months ago for same issue and my buddy that does powder coating talked me out of it, luckily.

How long have you had it? Looks difficult to repair, if a powder coat that's an engine strip down, but why is it flaking off? Is it high mileage and old or young and factory hasn't prepared it properly and under warranty?

No idea of colour but I've used Simoniz VHT spray paint, comes in a rattle can, to paint my radiator. 1 tack coat and two full coats and its been 'looking like new' for the past three years.
