Your Paint Color Profile

551 - Navajo Red

The Navajo Red Vibe

This isn't your typical screaming Italian racing red. It's a 1984 time capsule. Earthy. Muted. Sophisticated. You'll find it on everything from the Spider to the GTV6 from that specific era. It carries a terracotta undertone that feels right at home on a dusty coastal road. It's a mature choice for a driver who wants soul without the flash.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. No metallic flakes. No pearl dust. This makes your life easier. You won't deal with mottling or "tiger stripes" that plague silver paints. The risk? Depth. Solid colors can look flat if you don't prep the surface. It shows every bit of wax and grease. Clean the area. Then clean it again.

Pro Advice

Check the underside of your trunk lid or the engine bay for a silver PPG sticker. Before you spray or dab Alfa-Romeo Navajo Red (check for code 551), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card. Keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up. Work in thin layers. Let it dry between passes. If you see a drip, you stayed in one spot too long.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Alfa-Romeo's Color Code

The Alfa-Romeo paint color code can be found on the trunk lid, inside the spare tire compartment, or in the rear storage area. If not found, Alfa-Romeo can be contacted to determine the color code. If there is no color code, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number can be requested.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
