Fiat 500X Touch Up Paint (50 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Fiat didn't just release a car with the 500X; they released a rolling Italian fashion show. With a staggering 53 colors recorded, they really went for it. Whether your car is wearing Arancio Spritz, Blue Jeans Metallic, or the deliciously named Mochalatte, it's clear Fiat wanted these cars to pop. From the deep Rosso Passione to the high-tech Techno Green, there is a lot of personality packed into these small crossovers.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you'll need your "passport"-the paint code. On the 500X, don't look in the usual door jamb first. Instead, open your rear hatch and check the edge of the tailgate or near the locking mechanism for a silver sticker. If it's not there, check the underside of the hood. These cars are known for having "thin" factory paint, especially on the leading edge of the hood and the front bumper, making them rock chip magnets. You may also notice some clear coat peeling on the roof or the plastic trim panels over time. Don't worry; it's just the car showing a little age, and it's nothing a steady hand can't improve.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Fiat loves their pearls and "Tristrato" (tricoat) finishes-like Rosso Amore or Giallo Tristrato-your touch-up kit might come with two separate bottles. These colors require a bit of patience. The most important thing you can do is shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds. Those metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you need them dancing to get a good match. Apply your paint in paper-thin layers rather than one big glob. If you're working on those common nose chips, remember: three thin coats will always look better and last longer than one thick one.
