Kia Borrego Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Kia clearly had some fun with the Borrego, offering a robust palette of 12 recorded colors. They really went for it with high-energy options like Electric Orange Metallic and Spicy Red Metallic, balanced out by more grounded choices like Metal Bronze Metallic and the earthy Ivy Green Metallic. Whether you're driving a "look-at-me" orange or a "blend-in-with-the-forest" green, your SUV has more personality in its paint than most modern crossovers combined.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling, check the driver's side door jamb-that's where your paint code lives on a small sticker. While the Borrego is a tank, the paint can show its age in specific spots. Keep a close eye on the door handles, side mirrors, and the roof rails; these plastic-to-metal transition areas are where you'll often see the clear coat start to get a bit shy and peel away. If you see tiny white chips on the hood, don't worry-it's just a sign that your Borrego has actually been places.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors-especially that stunning Snow White Tricoat or the metallics-rely on tiny flakes to get their shine, you need to be the "Paint Bartender." Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds (longer than you think!) to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, remember that three paper-thin layers are always better than one big, gloopy "mountain" of paint. If you're working with a metallic shade, it might look a little dark while wet, but give it 20 minutes; it just requires a little patience to dry into its true self.
