Scion iA Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Scion iA is a bit of a secret agent-it's actually a Mazda2 wearing a Scion suit. Because of that DNA, they really went for it with the naming conventions. We've recorded 11 colors for this model, ranging from the moody Abyss and Stealth (shades of "ninja" and "concrete") to the high-energy Pulse and Sapphire. Whether you're driving a Frost white or a Sonic Titanium Metallic, you're dealing with a palette that's more "upscale boutique" than "budget commuter."

What to Watch For

Since this car was born in a Mazda factory, the paint follows the Mazda philosophy: it looks stunning but it is famously "thin." You'll likely notice rock chips appearing on the hood and front bumper if you so much as follow a gravel truck too closely. Keep a close eye on the door handles and the roof edges, as the clear coat here can be a bit sensitive to the elements. To find your exact match, head to the driver's side door jamb. Look for a sticker with "C/TR" followed by a three-character code (like 41G or 42A)-that's your DNA sequence for the perfect repair.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the many metallic options like Mercury Gray Metallic or Sonic Titanium, your biggest job is the "The Great Shake." Give your touch-up bottle or pen a solid 60 seconds of vigorous shaking to wake up those metallic flakes-if you don't, the color will look flat. When applying, remember that this factory paint is thin, so your repair should be too. Use the "dab, don't smear" method. If you have a deeper chip, apply two thin layers with 20 minutes of drying time in between rather than one big, gloppy mountain of paint. For the Sonic Quartz Tricoat, remember that it requires a little extra patience to get that pearly glow just right-take your time and work in the shade.
