Mazda CX-50 Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda really went for it with the CX-50, recording a total of 14 colors that range from "rugged adventurer" to "sophisticated city dweller." We have earthy, outdoor-ready tones like Zircon Sand and Cypress Green, but let's be honest: Mazda still loves their "50 shades of grey." Between Machine Gray Metallic, Polymetal Gray Pearl, Sonic Silver, and Ceramic Metallic, you've got plenty of ways to blend into a rainy Tuesday. Whether you're rocking the deep Deep Crystal Blue Pearl or the eye-popping Bright Red Tricoat, you're driving a car that looks like it was painted by an artist, not a machine.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth: Mazda is famous for its "thin" paint. It's gorgeous, but it can be a bit sensitive. You might notice little nicks on the hood or the edges of the doors if you look at them too hard-or, more likely, if you follow a gravel truck too closely. The clear coat is also known for being "soft," which means it shows tiny scratches easily. To fix these, you first need your DNA-the paint code. Open your driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the frame where the door latches). You'll find a sticker there with a 2 or 3-character code like "46G" or "41W." That is your golden ticket to the right bottle.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of those stunning "Tricoats" like Snowflake Pearl or Wind Chill, remember that these colors are built in layers. They require patience. Don't try to fill a deep chip with one big "glop" of paint. Instead, treat it like a tiny building project: apply a very thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. Also, since Mazda uses a lot of heavy metallic and pearl flakes, shake that touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. You want to wake up those sparkles so they don't all sit at the bottom of the jar while you're trying to work!
