Fiat Verde Toscana (330/PGG) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was the rugged face of the 500X launch, designed to make the crossover look as comfortable on a dirt path in the Apennines as it is in a city center. It is an earthy, sophisticated green that avoids the "forest ranger" look by leaning into a more olive, Mediterranean vibe. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for several years now, the finish has probably faced its fair share of gravel and sun. Because it is a deep, organic tone, it hides road film better than white or black, but it really shines when that metallic depth is restored.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which is exactly why the color looks different depending on the sun. This complexity comes from tiny mica flakes that catch the light, but they can be temperamental. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will sink or cluster, creating a dark, muddy patch known as mottling. To keep the finish uniform, you need to ensure the flakes are distributed evenly across the repair area. Before you spray or dab Fiat Verde Toscana (check for code 330/PGG), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those pearls.

Best Practices

Your paint code is typically located on a silver sticker found on the underside of the hood or occasionally on the driver's side door pillar. Once you have confirmed the match, always test the color on the included card to see how the pearls settle before touching your car. When you move to the actual repair, keep the container moving in steady, light passes. Heavy layers are the enemy of a pearl finish; they lead to drips and uneven color. Give the area plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color depth gradually. If you are using a pen or brush for a small chip, use a dabbing motion rather than a long stroke to keep the metallic flakes from dragging and looking streaky.
