Mazda Navajo Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda gave the Navajo a palette of 11 colors that perfectly captured that "I might actually go off-road" energy of the early 90s. From the sophisticated Mocha Frost Metallic to the surprisingly bold Medium Seafoam Metallic, they really went for it. Whether you're rocking the deep Majolica Blue or the desert-ready Driftwood Metallic, these colors were designed to look just as good covered in trail dust as they do in your driveway.

What to Watch For

The Navajo is a rugged beast, but its clear coat can be a little sensitive to the sun. After a few decades, you might notice the paint on the hood or roof starting to look like a bad sunburn-that's the clear coat getting tired. To find your specific color match, open the driver's door and check the jamb for a sticker; you're looking for a two-letter code (like KN for Dark Lapis or DD for Mocha Frost). Also, keep an eye on the lower Graphite Metallic trim; it has a matte finish that can pick up scuffs easily, but it's nothing a steady hand can't fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up bottle, remember that patience is your best tool. Since many of these Navajo colors are heavy on the metallics, you need to shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up the sparkles trapped at the bottom. When applying the paint, think "thin and light" rather than "one thick blob." If you're working on the lower Graphite trim, resist the urge to put a shiny clear coat over it-that matte look is what gives the Navajo its classic two-tone character. Just dab the color on, let it dry, and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
