1994 Alfa-Romeo Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Alfa-Romeo Vibe

1994 was a hell of a year for the Alfisti. You had the 164 looking like a squared-off Armani suit on wheels and the final Series 4 Spiders humming their swan song. It was the peak of the "jewel tone" craze-if it wasn't Rosso Red, it was probably a deep, moody green or a rich wine. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era, like the classic Alfa Red and the deep Verde Inglese. Back then, these cars didn't just drive; they had an attitude that required a specific kind of swagger and a very specific kind of wax.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 1994, the factory had fully committed to the basecoat-clearcoat system, which gave these Alfas a depth that made Bordeaux and Green Metallic look like liquid glass. But there's a catch: the clear coat tech of the mid-90s hasn't always aged with grace. If your Alfa has spent its life under the Mediterranean (or Floridian) sun, you're likely staring at delamination-that ugly, flaky white skin that looks like a bad sunburn. Once that clear starts to lift from the base, the clock starts ticking on your factory finish.

Restoration Tip

If you've still got your factory clear coat, treat it like a vintage wine. My advice? Seal every single rock chip the second you see it. On these '94 models, a tiny chip is an invitation for moisture and air to get between the layers. Once that bond breaks, the clear coat will start to "bridge" and peel away in sheets, and no amount of buffing will bring it back. Use a high-solid touch-up to seal the edges of the chip immediately. It's the difference between a minor touch-up today and a multi-thousand-dollar respray tomorrow.
