Mazda 929 Touch Up Paint (34 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda really went for the "sophisticated poet" vibe with the 929. With 34 recorded colors, they didn't just give you red or blue; they gave you Gentle Maroon Mica Pearl Metallic and Tranquil Blue Mica Pearl Metallic. If you're looking at a silver one, take a deep breath-there are about seven different versions, from Niagara Silver Metallic to Champagne Silver Pearl. It's like Mazda wanted the car to look like it was constantly driving through a very expensive sunset.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Identity Card." On the 929, Mazda usually hides the paint code on a metal plate located on the firewall (that's the wall behind the engine) or on the driver's side door jamb. Keep an eye on your roof and hood; since the 929 was designed to be sleek and lightweight, the factory paint can be a bit thin. This means the clear coat on those flat surfaces tends to get "tired" and cloudy over time. If you see white flaking, you aren't alone-it's a common 929 badge of honor.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors are "Mica" or "Pearl" (like Whisper Green Pearl), they have tiny sparkles suspended in the paint. These sparkles are heavy and like to nap at the bottom of the bottle. **Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds**-even after you think it's mixed-to wake them up. When applying, don't try to paint a "stripe." Use the tip of the brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. It requires patience, but your 929 will thank you for not giving it a "globby" makeover.
