1994 Fiat Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Fiat Vibe

1994 was a hell of a year for Fiat. While the rest of the world was humming along to "The Sign" on their cassette decks, Fiat was busy flooding the European streets with the first-year Punto and the boxy, indomitable Cinquecento. The aesthetic was pure mid-90s: rounded edges meeting leftover 80s geometry. We've focused our collection on the survivors of this era, specifically the deep, shimmering Bleu Micalizzato and the "don't-pull-me-over" Rosso Speed. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that Italian style could survive the daily commute, even if the electronics were a roll of the dice.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 1994, Fiat had fully committed to the basecoat-plus-clearcoat system, but the chemistry of the time hadn't quite mastered the "staying attached" part. If your Fiat has been sitting in the Mediterranean sun (or even a humid garage), you're likely staring down the barrel of delamination. This is where the clear coat decides it's had enough and starts lifting off in sheets, leaving the pigment underneath exposed and vulnerable. If your Rosso Speed looks like it's sunburned and peeling, you aren't alone-it's a classic case of the clear coat losing its grip.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a tiny rock chip is more than a blemish; it's an entry point for disaster. Once the seal is broken, moisture and air get under that clear layer and start the peeling process like a bad sticker. Your move? Seal chips immediately. Don't wait for the weekend. The second you see a pinhole in the clear, hit it with a touch-up pen to bridge that gap. If the clear has already started to lift at the edges, you've got to carefully feather those edges down before applying your repair, or the new paint will just ride the wave of the old clear as it continues to flake off.
