Subaru Loyale Touch Up Paint (22 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Subaru Loyale might look like a humble box on wheels, but Subaru really went for it in the paint booth. We've recorded 22 different factory colors for this vintage adventurer. Whether your Loyale is sporting the flashy Electric Yellow, the sophisticated Peacock Metallic, or the deep Ruby Pearl, there is a lot of personality hiding under those classic lines. It's a surprisingly vibrant palette for a car that spent most of its life hauling camping gear and groceries.

What to Watch For

Now, let's be honest: Subaru's paint from this era was a bit on the thin side. If your Loyale has spent its life outdoors, you'll likely notice some "sunburn" on the horizontal surfaces-specifically the hood and roof-where the clear coat starts to get a little flaky. You should also keep a close eye on the wheel arches and door handles, as these are the high-traffic areas where chips like to turn into unwanted "character spots."

To find your specific color match, you have to play a little hide-and-seek. Pop the hood and look directly at the top of the driver's side strut tower. Subaru bolted the ID plate right there, likely figuring that if you were looking for the paint code, you were already under the hood tinkering with something else. Look for a three-digit code (like 230 or 946).

Driveway Repair Tip

If you are working with one of the metallic or pearl shades-like Bermuda Blue Metallic or Ruby Pearl-patience is your best friend. These colors have tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for at least two full minutes (put on a good song and keep shaking) to wake up those sparkles. When you apply it, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Dabbing a single, thick blob of paint usually results in a dark spot. Instead, apply a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for twenty minutes, and come back for a second pass. It requires patience, but your Loyale will thank you for the extra care.
