COLOR CODEJBA - Winter Chill PearlFiat Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Fiat 500 was built to stand out, and this icy blue hue is a big part of that charm. It sits between a crisp morning and a classic 1950s appliance, giving the car a retro personality that modern silvers cannot match. Since your car has spent several seasons in the sun, the original finish might look a bit different than it did on the showroom floor. Light colors like this are excellent at hiding dust, but they reveal every bit of road tar and iron fallout, so make sure the surface is deep-cleaned before you start your repair.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which provides a deep glow but requires a steady hand. While a solid color simply covers a scratch, a pearl uses tiny mica flakes to catch the light. If you apply it too heavy, the repair will look darker than the rest of the panel because the flakes cannot settle the right way. You must build the color in thin layers to let that shimmer work. If you rush the process, you risk a "mottled" look where the metallic bits cluster together and create dark spots.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Fiat Winter Chill Pearl (check for code JBA), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pearl particles mix so you do not end up with a dull patch. You can find your paint ID on a silver sticker located on the underside of the hood. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to see how the pearl reacts to the light in your garage. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid pooling. Give it plenty of drying time between coats so the finish stays crisp and the layers do not bleed into each other.
