Mazda Mazda3 Sport Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda really went for it with the Mazda3 Sport, recording a whopping 28 different colors over the years. They clearly didn't get the memo that most cars are supposed to be "boring," giving us everything from the high-energy Velocity Red Mica to the deep, mysterious Deep Crystal Blue Pearl. Whether your car is dressed in the iconic Soul Red Tricoat or one of the many sophisticated "50 shades of grey" like Meteor Gray or metropolitan Grey, your Mazda was designed to stand out in a parking lot.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth from your driveway guru: Mazda paint is famously "soft." It's beautiful, but it's a bit of a delicate flower. If you look closely at your hood or the area around your door handles, you might see what looks like a light "peppering" of tiny stone chips. Don't panic-this is just the Mazda lifestyle. To find your specific fix, open your driver's side door and look at the "B-pillar" (the frame the door latches onto). You'll see a sticker with a 3-digit "Color Code" like 41V or 16W. That's your golden ticket to the right bottle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Mazda loves their "Mica" and "Pearl" finishes, those tiny bottles of touch-up paint are packed with microscopic sparkles that like to settle at the bottom. Before you even open the cap, shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds-I'm talking "maraca solo" energy-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." If you try to fill a chip with one big blob, it'll look like a tiny mountain on your hood. Instead, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry, and come back for a second layer if you need it. It's a driveway repair, not a race!
