Fiat Grigio Metallic (PAJ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color helped transform the Fiat 500 from a cute novelty into a serious urban commuter during its mid-2010s run. It lacks the flashy noise of the bright yellows or reds, offering a mature, metallic depth that feels more at home in a city center. Since your car has likely navigated its fair share of tight street parking and highway miles, you will appreciate how well this shade masks light road dust and everyday grime. It is a practical, sophisticated choice that keeps the car looking sharp even between washes.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint is infused with tiny particles designed to reflect light from different angles. Because these particles are heavier than the paint itself, they tend to settle at the bottom of the container. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, these flakes will cluster together and create dark, uneven patches. To prevent this, you must focus on thin, even layers. This patience ensures the metal flakes lay flat and uniform, preventing the finish from looking cloudy or striped once it dries.

Best Practices

On your vehicle, the silver identification sticker is typically located on the edge of the rear hatch or inside the driver's door jamb. Before you spray or dab Fiat Grigio Metallic (check for code PAJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended and ready for a perfect match. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade and flake density before moving to the car body. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to maintain a consistent flow, and allow enough drying time between each thin coat to build a durable, level surface.
