Does the Honda warranty cover paint?

I was at the grocery store and when I came back to my new 2021 Honda Pilot there was a big, deep scratch on my passenger door! I think I’m going to need paint to fix this monstrosity. Does the Honda warranty cover paint?

Coming out of the grocery store to find your brand new
Honda Pilot
scratched up is the actual definition of a bad day.
Unfortunately, Honda’s 3-year warranty on new vehicles doesn’t cover paint, cosmetic wear, or damages from accidents or misuse.
Having
collision
or
comprehensive
insurance coverage could technically cover this sort of damage. However, small repairs like scratches just aren’t worth the increased rates the claim would cause.
All that said, paying for new paint and wax, or a DIY scratch repair kit, can cost as little as $150 or as much as $2,000 depending on how bad the scratch is. Expenses like these are frustrating, to say the least, which is why it’s useful to cash in elsewhere—
