Your Paint Color Profile

191 - Dark Red

The Look

This color defines the transition of the 1970s. It is a deep pigment that gave models like the 124 Spider and X1/9 a refined presence compared to the louder reds of the decade prior. Your Fiat has been on the road for quite some time, so the original finish might have deepened or shifted due to sun exposure. This red isn't just a color; it is the character of an era where Italian styling became mature.

Technical Details

This finish is a solid color. There are no metallic flakes to worry about, so you avoid the risk of uneven patterns or mottling. Red pigments are translucent and can be stubborn. They require a few thin layers to achieve true depth. If you try to cover the surface in a single thick coat, the color can appear too dark or develop runs that ruin the profile of your repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fiat Dark Red (check for code 191), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Find your paint code on a silver sticker under the trunk lid or on the firewall inside the engine bay. Test the color on the included card to confirm it matches the car before you begin. To keep the finish level, keep the container moving and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer. Working in your garage away from direct sun will help the paint settle and dry at the right pace.

How to Find Your Fiat's Color Code

Fiat paint color code locations vary by year and model. Possible spots include the driver's side door jamb; under the hood; sometimes on the front of the vehicle near the engine. Also on the underside of the hood, often near the lock mechanism, or on the side of the hood, which becomes visible when the boot is opened. Another location is inside the trunk or on the side of the lid, particularly on models like the Fiat 500.

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.
