2002 AMG Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2002 AMG Vibe

Back in 2002, the automotive world was having a bit of a mid-life crisis, and the result was glorious excess. This was the year the Hummer H1 was king of the trail and the H2 was just starting to terrorize suburban parking lots. Our database tracks the six heavy-hitters from this era, including the iconic Yellow that made every driveway look like a construction site and the sophisticated Pewter Pri Metallic-the "it" color that seemed to be sprayed on every third vehicle leaving the factory. It was a time when paint was meant to be seen from a mile away, whether it was the deep Redfire Metallic or the rugged Medium Sage Green Metallic.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. While these 2002 AM General beasts were built like tanks, their clear coats were surprisingly human-they tend to catch a "sunburn." By now, most factory finishes from 2002 are dealing with the onset of delamination. You'll see it first on the horizontal surfaces; the clear coat starts to look cloudy or chalky before it begins to flake off in sheets like a tourist who spent too much time on a Florida beach. If your Olympic White is starting to show those brittle, white edges where the clear is lifting, you're officially in a race against the elements.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a 2002 finish alive is aggressive intervention. In this era of paint technology, air and moisture are the enemy-once they get under a stone chip, they'll travel between the color and the clear, lifting the whole finish. Therefore, you must seal every single chip immediately. Don't let a "little" nick in the hood sit through a car wash. Clean the area, dab your color, and get that protective layer on top before the delamination "creeps." Think of it as a tactical patch on a uniform; do it now, or the whole sleeve falls off later.
