How to Find Your 1979 Fiat's Color Code

Fiat paint color code locations vary by year and model. Possible spots include the driver's side door jamb; under the hood; sometimes on the front of the vehicle near the engine. Also on the underside of the hood, often near the lock mechanism, or on the side of the hood, which becomes visible when the boot is opened. Another location is inside the trunk or on the side of the lid, particularly on models like the Fiat 500.

1979 Fiat Background Info

The 1979 Fiat Vibe

In 1979, Fiat was busy trying to convince the world that the 124 Spider and the mid-engined X1/9 were the peak of Italian style, even if they spent as much time in the garage as they did on the road. It was an era of transition-moving away from the muted olives of the early 70s into a technicolor fever dream. Our database shows 17 distinct colors for this year, and let me tell you, the variety was something else. You had the quintessential Rallye Red for the speed demons and Safari Yellow for the bold, but the real soul of '79 lived in those deep, moody earth tones like Brown Sepia and Gold Metallic. It was a time when a car could be Lord Blue and actually look like it belonged in a palace, even if it was just parked in a suburban driveway.

Paint Health Check

If you're staring at an original 1979 finish, you're looking at the Single Stage Era. Back then, we didn't hide the color under a plastic-like shell of clear coat; the pigment was the protection. This makes the paint thick and honest, but it's also got a major weakness: Oxidation. If your Cherry Red or Dark Blue looks like it's been dusted with a layer of chalkboard chalk, that's the paint literally dying of thirst. Without a protective barrier, the sun cooks the oils right out of the finish, leaving it dull, porous, and prone to "chalking." The legend says these cars were built to rust on the dealer lot, but usually, it's the paint that gives up first if you don't feed it.

Restoration Tip

This paint doesn't just want maintenance; it needs it to survive. My advice? It needs wax or it dies. Before you touch up those chips in your Silver Metallic or Slate Blue, you've got to clear the "dead" paint first. Use a light rubbing compound to cut through that chalky oxidation until the true color starts bleeding onto your rag-don't panic, that's just the top layer of pigment coming off. Once you've hit fresh paint, apply your touch-up, let it cure, and then bury the whole panel in a high-quality carnauba wax. Think of it like skin lotion for a sunburn; if you don't seal it, the environment will just keep eating away at your hard work.
