Saab Urbane Moss Pearl (92/WA633R) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your 9-7X likely spends its time handling the daily grind, this earthy, sophisticated green is a rare sight that deserves a precise repair. Appearing only in the 2009 model year, it was a boutique choice that gave the heavy-hitting SUV a more refined, European outdoor aesthetic. It is a color that hides road grime better than almost any other shade in the lineup, making it a favorite for owners who actually use their all-wheel-drive capabilities.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means the paint is packed with fine mica flakes that create depth and shift slightly under direct light. Because these particles are heavier than the paint pigment itself, they have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a finish that looks muddy or flat. When applying, be aware that inconsistent layers can cause the metallic particles to cluster, leading to dark patches or stripes. This is not a defect in the paint, but a sign that the flakes are not laying flat, so maintain a consistent spray distance or brush stroke.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Saab Urbane Moss Pearl (check for code 92/WA633R), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to wake up those pearl flakes. Unlike traditional Saabs that hide their information on the door pillar, your 9-7X usually keeps its paint code on a sticker inside the glove box. Test the color on the included card before touching your car to ensure the mica density matches your existing finish. Work in a cool garage or the shade, as direct sun will cause the paint to dry too fast and trap the flakes in an uneven pattern. Give each layer enough drying time to settle before adding the next. To get the best result, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling in the center of the repair.
