R12 if you want it recharged your going to have to bring it to a certified shop..... ive seen prices as low as 129 for a full flush.... good luck :)

Ok thanks,
btw Can you only have it refilled in a shop or can you buy it from an Auto Zone and refill it??

Suggested Repair
The 1990 Accord uses R-12. Have a certified shop flush and recharge the A/C system rather than attempting a DIY refill.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 1990 Honda Accord EX says the A/C blows cool but not cold enough and asks which refrigerant it uses. The expert identifies R-12 and recommends a certified shop for a recharge, noting full flush prices around $129. The owner then asks whether it can be bought and refilled at an auto parts store; that follow-up was not answered.
