Subaru All Models Touch Up Paint (33 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Subaru has never been afraid to let its personality show through its palette. With 40 recorded colors, they've given us everything from the adventurous Aztec Gold Metallic and Shiny Maroon Metallic to the delightfully retro Mild Yellow. Whether you're rocking the rugged Moss Green Metallic or the classic Cotton White, Subaru owners clearly aren't afraid of a little color. They even leaned heavily into the "two-tone" lifestyle-if you see a slash in your paint code (like /566/544), it just means your car is wearing a fancy suit with a matching pair of trousers.

What to Watch For

Now, for the honest truth: Subaru paint is known in the driveway community for being a bit "dainty." It's often on the thinner side, which means road gravel and even overly ambitious birds can leave their mark quite easily. You'll likely notice chips appearing first on the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood. Before you get started, you need to find your code. On older models, pop the hood and look at the strut towers (the metal mounds where the suspension connects). On newer models (2007 and up), check the passenger side door jamb or the edge of the door itself. It's usually a three-digit code that might be a mix of letters and numbers.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Subaru clear coat is relatively soft, "less is more" is your golden rule. When using your touch-up pen, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a big glob of paint in there, it'll take forever to dry and won't level out. Instead, apply two or three paper-thin layers, waiting about 15 minutes between each. If you have one of those two-tone codes, make sure you're applying the right color to the right section-usually, the first number is the main body color and the second is the trim/bumper. Give your bottle a serious 60-second shake before you start to make sure those metallics, like Fine Silver or Spark Blue, are perfectly mixed and ready to shine.
