1971 Fiat Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 1971 Fiat Vibe

It's 1971, and if you aren't carving corners in a 124 Spider or redlining an 850, you're doing it wrong. This was the year Fiat decided the world needed more than just transportation; it needed a loud-mouthed Italian statement. We've focused our collection on the survivors-the core colors that define the era. Whether it's that unapologetic Bright Red, the deep Dark Blue, or the punchy Bright Green, these weren't just paints; they were personality tests. Back then, a White Fiat was the only way to stay cool while the radiator did its best to do the opposite.

Paint Health Check

Listen close, because we're in the Single Stage Era here. In 1971, the factory wasn't hiding your color under a plastic-looking clear coat. What you see is what you get: a thick, honest layer of enamel that's been fighting the sun for over fifty years. The problem? Without a clear top layer, these pigments are sitting ducks for Oxidation. If your Bright Red looks like a dusty pink chalkboard, that's the paint binders literally dying of thirst. If it's been neglected, the surface will feel "chalky" to the touch-that's your color turning into dust and blowing away in the wind.

Restoration Tip

Here's the deal: this paint is a living thing. It needs wax or it dies. Before you even think about touching that 124 with sandpaper, try a heavy-cut rubbing compound and a high-speed buffer. You'd be amazed at how much "dead" paint you can peel back to reveal the 1971 glory hiding underneath. Once you find the shine, seal it immediately with a high-quality carnauba wax. Think of it like sunscreen for a redhead-if you skip the protection, the sun is going to take that finish right back to the Stone Age within six months.
