How to Find Your Subaru 3-door coupe's Color Code

The color plate may be on top of the drivers side strut; in recent years it is in the driver or passenger side door jambs. Typical Subaru paint codes are three digits long and composed of numbers and letters. For two tone cars a code like "3M6" appears: "Two Tone Color Combination 3M6 Atlantic Blue Pearl 33A Granite Gray Opal Clearcoat 35S". The color code matters since the same paint can have different names across models.

The Color Breakdown

Subaru really leaned into the "high-tech '90s" vibe for this coupe, recording a total of 12 distinct colors. They didn't just give you red; they gave you an entire sunset's worth, ranging from the punchy Rio Red to the sophisticated Ruby Pearl and the deep Mica Red Metallic. If you're rocking the Champagne Gold Metallic or Bermuda Blue, you're driving a rolling time capsule of era-appropriate style. They clearly went for it with this palette-it's a mix of "look-at-me" sportiness and "I have a leather-bound planner" luxury.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. Subaru clear coats from this era are known for being a bit "soft" and sensitive to the sun. If your coupe has been living its best life outdoors, you might notice the roof or the tops of the fenders starting to look a little cloudy or "sunburnt"-that's the clear coat telling you it needs some love. Also, finding your paint code on these can be a bit of a scavenger hunt. Before you start, pop the hood and look at the strut towers (the metal mounds where the suspension connects). Subaru often tucked the metal ID plate right there on the driver or passenger side. If it's not there, check the B-pillar inside the driver's door jamb. It's usually a three-digit code that's your golden ticket to a match.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're working with colors like Ruby Pearl or Lake Blue Metallic, remember that the "magic" is in the flakes. Those tiny sparkles love to sink to the bottom of your touch-up bottle while it sits on the shelf. Shake your paint for a solid 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up that metallic shimmer. When you're ready to apply, don't try to fill a chip in one go. Using the brush or pen, dab on a "whisper-thin" layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and repeat. These deeper metallics require patience to get the depth right, but several thin layers will always look better than one thick blob that stands out like a sore thumb.
