Chevrolet Geo Prizm Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chevrolet Geo Prizm is essentially a Toyota Corolla in a GM suit, and back in the '90s, they really went for it with the palette. We've recorded a whopping 37 colors for this reliable little commuter. While you might see plenty of Super White or Silver Metallic buzzing around, the Prizm had a wild side. They gave us gems like Apricot Ice Pearl Metallic, Polynesian Green Metallic, and the delightfully bold Twilight Purple Pearl. Whether your car is a "sensible grey" or a "lavender sunset," it's proof that economy cars don't have to be boring.

What to Watch For

If you're looking at your Prizm and seeing what looks like a bad sunburn on the hood or roof, you aren't alone. These cars are notorious for "clear coat delamination"-where the protective top layer starts to flake off like a dry croissant. You'll also notice the paint likes to retreat around the door handles and window trim. To find your specific shade, head to the driver's side door jamb and look for a "Parts Identification" sticker. If it's not there, check the firewall under the hood (near the back of the engine) for a small metal plate or sticker.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Prizm colors-like Rose Pearl or Midnight Emerald Pearl-rely on tiny metallic flakes to get that shimmer, your secret weapon is the "Minute Shake." Before you touch that brush to the car, shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds. This wakes up the pearls that have settled at the bottom. When applying, remember: three thin, watery layers are your best friend. If you try to fill a deep chip in one big glob, the metallic bits will sink and make the spot look darker than the rest of the car. Matching these complex pearls requires patience, so take your time and let each layer dry before adding the next.
