Mazda MX6 Touch Up Paint (34 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda really leaned into the "lifestyle coupe" vibe with the MX6, giving us a whopping 34 colors to choose from. They didn't play it safe, either-while most brands were stuck in a sea of beige, Mazda was busy mixing up gems like Caribbean Blue Metallic, Passion Rose Pearl, and the earthy Driftwood Metallic. Whether you're rocking the 90s-iconic Neat Green Pearl or the classic Vintage Red Tri-Coat, it's clear the designers wanted this car to stand out in a parking lot. They really went for it, and your driveway is better for it.

What to Watch For

Since most MX6s have spent a few decades under the sun, the paint has a few stories to tell. The clear coat on these models can be a bit sensitive, often deciding to "retire" early on the roof and trunk lid. You might also notice that the vibrant reds and pearls can lose their "pop" over time due to sun exposure. Before you start your repair, you'll need your specific code. Check the driver's side door jamb first; if it's not there, take a peek at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Look for a small 2 or 3-digit code like "A3F" or "SQ"-that's your golden ticket to a match.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many MX6 colors-like Steel Gray Pearl or Sahara Gold Metallic-rely on tiny metallic flakes or pearl effects, your secret weapon is the "sixty-second shimmy." Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full minute to wake up those settled sparkles; otherwise, your repair might look a bit flat. When applying, remember that three thin, whisper-light layers are always better than one big, gloopy mountain of paint. If you're working with the Vintage Red Tri-Coat, just know it requires patience to get the depth right, so take your time and let each layer dry completely before adding the next.
