2010 Saab Touch Up Paint (47 OEM Colors)

The 2010 Saab Vibe

The year is 2010, and Saab is giving us one last, brilliant middle finger to the mundane. While the rest of the world was drowning in a sea of rental-car silver, the folks in Trollhattan were still dreaming in Myth Green Pearl and Saffron Yellow. Whether you're rocking the sunset of the 9-3, the rare-as-a-unicorn 9-4X, or that "born from jets" redesigned 9-5, your car wasn't just transportation-it was a statement that you probably own at least one very expensive turtleneck. With 47 colors in our database, from Vivid Gandalf Pearl (yes, really) to Glass Dark Gray, we've got the DNA of that final, defiant era ready for your spray gun.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2010, the robots in the factory had become masters of "Efficiency," which is just a corporate way of saying they got real stingy with the spray. These coats are lean, mean, and unfortunately, prone to rock chips if you so much as look at a gravel road. The clear coat is high-tech and glossy, but it doesn't have the "meat" of the old-school lacquers. If your 9-5 has been living outside, you're likely seeing those chips turn into tiny craters on the hood. The good news? The factory robots were precise, so the finish is smooth as silk-it's just a bit delicate.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip on a 2010-era Saab, you have to play the long game. Because the factory paint is so thin, a single "blob" of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. The Secret: Build your layers slowly. Apply a thin coat of color, let it flash, and repeat until the height matches the surrounding surface. If you try to fill the crater in one shot, it'll shrink, sink, and look like a mess. Treat it like a Swedish winter-take your time, stay patient, and don't rush the process.
