Opel All Models Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Opel likes to keep things interesting. With 3 main colors currently making the rounds, they range from the elegantly dessert-themed Panacotta to the mysterious Switch, and the refreshingly honest Brown. Whether you're driving a sleek Insignia or a punchy Corsa, Opel's palette tends to favor sophisticated metallics that look great under a streetlamp but definitely show their battle scars from the daily commute.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need the "secret handshake"-your paint code. You'll usually find it on a black sticker inside the passenger or driver-side door jamb (look at the B-pillar). If it's not there, pop the hood; it might be hiding on the slam panel near the radiator.

One thing to know: Opel paint is notoriously "friendly," meaning it's a bit soft and loves to collect stone chips on the nose and hood. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little thin on the roof if it spends all day in the sun. Don't worry, though; catching these spots early with a touch-up keeps the rust away and the finish looking sharp.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since colors like Panacotta rely on metallic flakes to get that shimmer, your bottle is your best friend-but only if you shake it like you're making a martini. Give it a solid 60 seconds of agitation to wake up those heavy metallic particles that settle at the bottom. When applying, remember that patience is your superpower. Use the tip of your brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do two "whisper-thin" coats than one big glob that looks like a mole on your car's nose.
