2013 Fiat Touch Up Paint (37 OEM Colors)

The 2013 Fiat Vibe

2013 was the year the "Italian Invasion" officially parked in every tight city spot from Milan to Miami. Whether you were rocking the iconic 500 or the sensible Linea, Fiat decided to treat the world like a giant gelato shop. We've got 37 colors in our database for this year alone-enough to make a rainbow look lazy. You had everything from the caffeinated Mochalatte and the zesty Verde Metallic to the high-voltage Electric Orange Tricoat. It was a time of optimism, small footprints, and a palette that finally broke the "White, Black, or Silver" curse of the early 2000s.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2013, the robots in the factory had become a little too good at their jobs. They applied the paint with laser-guided precision, but they used about as much material as a cheap hotel towel. While these modern clear coats have decent UV inhibitors, they are brittle. If you've got a Rosso or Bright Red model, you've probably noticed the nose looks like it's been through a gravel storm-that's because the thin factory finish chips rather than absorbs. Even worse, the clear coat on the roof panels and near the bumper badges is notorious for "delaminating" (that's painter-speak for peeling like a bad sunburn) because of factory prep shortcuts and body flex.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a 2013 Fiat, remember: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin, a heavy "one-and-done" drop of touch-up paint will sit on the surface like a mountain on a pancake. It'll be obvious from three blocks away. Instead, apply a thin layer, let it dry and shrink, and then add another. You want to build the repair up to the level of the surrounding clear coat. This era of paint is hard but shallow, so patience is your best friend if you want that Bianco Perla to actually look like a pearl again instead of a pimple.
