Mazda Premacy Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Mazda really leaned into the early-2000s palette for the Premacy, offering a total of 10 recorded colors that range from "sensible family hauler" to "I'm secretly a sports car." We're looking at a mix of deep, moody tones like Mid Green Pearl and Black Pearl, alongside some surprisingly cheerful options like Classic Red and the bubbly Champagne Silver Pearl. It's a color list that says you're responsible enough to own a mini-MPV, but cool enough to choose a shade like Grace Green Pearl instead of just another shade of beige.

What to Watch For

Before you start your repair, you'll need to find your paint code. On the Premacy, this is a bit of a hide-and-seek game; check the sticker on your driver's side door jamb first, but if it's not there, pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall behind the engine). Now, for the reality check: Mazda paint from this era is known for being a bit "spiritually thin." You might notice that Classic Red has a tendency to fade toward pink if it spends too much time in the sun, and the hood is a notorious magnet for stone chips. You may also see some bubbling near the wheel arches or the edges of the roof-don't panic, it's just the car showing its age, and it's nothing a little patience can't fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Seychelles Metallic or Black Pearl-are packed with tiny metallic flakes or pearls, they have a habit of settling at the bottom of the bottle. Give your touch-up pen or brush a serious workout; shake it for at least 60 seconds longer than you think you need to. When you go to apply the paint, resist the urge to fill the chip in one big "blob." Instead, apply a very thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. If you're working with the pearls, this layering "requires patience" to get the sparkle to sit right, but it will look much smoother than a thick glob that stands out like a sore thumb.
