2017 Fiat Touch Up Paint (50 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Fiat Vibe

2017 was the year Fiat decided every car on the road should look like a scoop of gelato. Between the 500, the "Fiata" 124 Spider, and the beefier 500X, the showroom was basically a neon-lit candy shop. We've got 50 colors in our database for this year alone-Fiat was handing out paint codes like they were flyers at a street fair. Whether you were rocking Arancio Spritz, Giallo Sole, or the deep Rosso Amore Tricoat, you weren't just driving a car; you were driving a "lifestyle" that probably involved a lot of espresso and very tight parking spots.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2017, the factory robots had become absolute masters of "Efficiency," which is a polite way of saying they applied the paint as thin as a coat of morning frost. While the Rosso Passione and Blu Venezia look incredible, that factory clear coat doesn't have much meat on its bones. Because of this "Robot Efficiency," your Fiat is likely a magnet for stone chips. If you've been following a semi-truck on the highway, your front bumper probably looks like it's been through a light sandblasting by now.

Restoration Tip

When you're dealing with paint this thin, you have to be patient. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you try to fill a stone chip with one giant drop of paint, it's going to sit high and proud like a pimple because the surrounding factory finish is so shallow. Use a steady hand and apply two or three whisper-thin layers instead of one thick one. This allows the repair to level out and blend into that sleek, Italian profile without leaving "scar tissue" behind.
