Suzuki Swift Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Suzuki certainly didn't play it safe with the Swift. With a whopping 54 colors recorded over the years, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the high-energy Boost Blue Pearl and Bright Yellow to the more sophisticated Galactic Grey Metallic and Ablaze Red 2 Metallic. Whether your Swift looks like a piece of tropical fruit or a sleek urban commuter, there's a specific formula for that personality.
What to Watch For
Now, here is the honest truth: Suzuki paint is known for being a bit "soft" and on the thinner side. This makes the hood and the front bumper absolute magnets for stone chips. If you're seeing little white or grey speckles on your nose, you're not alone. You might also notice the paint feels thin around the door handles or the edges of the roof.
To find your exact match, check the driver's side door jamb (look for a silver sticker on the B-pillar) or peek under the hood at the firewall near the back of the engine. You're looking for a three-digit code-something like ZVR or ZNC.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because Suzuki uses a lot of pearls and metallics (like that gorgeous White Pearl Tricoat), those tiny flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles.
Since the factory clear coat is thin, don't try to fill a chip with one giant "blob" of paint. It will look like a mountain on a flat plain. Instead, use a tiny amount of paint on the tip of a toothpick or a fine-point brush. Build it up in two thin layers, letting it dry for 15 minutes in between. This requires a little patience, but it's the secret to making that chip disappear into the horizon.
