LPS - Fathom Blue Fiat Touch Up Paint

The Look

Fiat Fathom Blue brings a sophisticated, midnight energy to the petite frame of your Fiat 500. While many of its siblings wear bright, candy-like colors, this shade was designed for a more mature, premium aesthetic during its production run from 2013 to 2015. It is a deep navy that looks almost black in the shade but reveals a hidden depth when the sun hits the body lines of your car. Since your 500 has been on the road for several years, you might notice that this dark hue does a decent job of hiding light road film, though it will definitely show every grain of salt or dust when it sits for too long.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that create that signature shimmer. Dark metallics like this one carry a specific risk: mottling. If the flakes do not land evenly, you will see dark or light stripes across the repair area. This happens because the metallic particles settle into clumps rather than a uniform layer. To prevent this, you must ensure the flakes stay suspended in the liquid throughout the process. Before you spray or dab Fiat Fathom Blue (check for code LPS), you need to shake it for 60 seconds.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint code on a silver sticker located on the underside of the hood or along the edge of the driver's side door. Before you start the repair in your garage, test the color on the included card to confirm the match and get a feel for the flow. When applying, keep the container moving at all times. If you stop the movement while the paint is flowing, you will get a heavy spot that ruins the metallic effect. Apply thin, light layers and allow plenty of drying time between each one to ensure the flakes stay exactly where they land.
