1995 Saab Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The 1995 Saab Vibe

Welcome to 1995, the year of the "New Generation" 900 and the peak refinement of the 9000. It was an era of heavy-duty ignition cassettes, center-console ignition keys, and owners who wore exclusively charcoal turtlenecks. While the mid-90s offered a few experimental teals and deep greens, the only color that truly mattered for a Swedish jet-turned-car was Black. It's the ultimate architect's palette-sleek, serious, and perpetually hiding in the shadows of a faculty parking lot. We've focused our database on this survivor, because a black Saab isn't just a car; it's a statement of intellectual superiority.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's talk turkey. Your '95 Saab was born right in the heart of The Peeling Era. By the mid-90s, the industry had committed to the basecoat-plus-clearcoat system, but they hadn't quite perfected the "staying together" part. On a black car, the sun is your worst enemy. It bakes that dark surface until the clear coat decides it's had enough of the base coat and starts to "delaminate"-which is a fancy painter's term for "peeling off like a bad sunburn." If you see cloudy white patches on the roof or the hood of your 9000, that's the clear coat giving up the ghost and leaving the base coat defenseless.

Restoration Tip

If you're lucky enough to still have a factory finish that hasn't started "shelling" yet, your number one job is edge control. Every stone chip is a potential entry point for moisture and air to get under that clear layer. Once the clear lifts at the edge of a chip, it'll start to spread across the panel like a cheap sticker in a high-pressure car wash. My advice? Seal those chips immediately. If the clear has already started to lift slightly around a chip, very gently sand back the loose edge with fine-grit paper to "arrest" the spread before applying your touch-up. You've got to stop the delamination at the border before it turns your Swedish beauty into a flaky mess.
