Fiat Linea Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Fiat kept the Linea's palette very focused for our records, featuring just 1 primary heavyweight: the stoic and professional Granit Grisi. It's a sophisticated, "I have a mortgage and a favorite espresso brand" kind of grey. While some cars try to shout with bright yellows or neon greens, the Linea is content to look like a polished piece of Italian architecture. It's a color that understands the value of a clean silhouette and is remarkably forgiving when you haven't had time for a car wash.
What to Watch For
To track down your specific paint code, you'll need to play a quick game of hide-and-seek. Check the silver sticker usually located on the underside of the bonnet (hood) or tucked along the inner edge of the boot (trunk) lid near the latch. In the real world, the Linea's finish can be a bit of a sun-worshipper; keep an eye out for "cloudy" spots or clear coat peeling on the horizontal surfaces like the roof and trunk. Also, because of that sleek, sloping nose, the front end tends to collect stone chips like a souvenir enthusiast-so catch those early before they decide to settle in and rust.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Granit Grisi relies on tiny metallic flakes to get its depth, it "requires patience" to get a perfect look. Shake your touch-up bottle like you're mixing a world-class cocktail-give it a solid 60 to 90 seconds to wake up those sparkles. When you're filling a chip, remember: less is more. Instead of painting a "glob" over the hole, use a toothpick or the very tip of your brush to drop a tiny amount of paint into the center and let it find its own level. Two thin, delicate layers will always look better than one thick bump that catches the light the wrong way.
