Suzuki Carbon Black Metallic (58U) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade is the backbone of the Suzuki lineup. Whether you drive a nimble Swift or a rugged Vitara, this black provides a heavy, expensive weight that solid colors simply cannot mimic. It is not a flat, ink-like void. Instead, it offers a deep, charcoal depth that defines the body lines of the Baleno or the Ertiga. Since your car has likely spent years battling road debris and sun exposure, the original finish might look a bit dusty, but a fresh application restores that crisp, factory-fresh silhouette that makes the vehicle look unified and sharp.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny reflective flakes. These particles give the color its life, but they also represent your biggest challenge. If you do not mix the liquid properly, the flakes will clump together, a problem known as mottling. This creates dark, uneven streaks or blotches that make the repair look like a muddy smudge rather than a crisp reflection. Metallic black is unforgiving because any inconsistency in how the flakes lay down will be visible the moment you pull the car out into the sunlight.

Best Practices

You will usually find your ID plate on the firewall at the back of the engine bay or tucked inside the passenger-side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Suzuki Carbon Black Metallic (check for code 58U), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds to suspend those heavy metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before you touch the car. When applying the paint, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the liquid from pooling. Work in the shade or a cool garage to ensure your drying time remains consistent and the finish lays flat.
