Subaru Sedan Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Subaru has treated us to a solid roster of 21 recorded shades, and they really covered the spectrum. You've got the refreshingly honest Extra Black, the earthy Herb Green, and the surprisingly spicy Cinnamon Metallic. Whether your sedan is rocking the classic Liberty White or the adventurous Willow Green Metallic, the palette feels designed for a car that is equally at home in a muddy driveway or a sleek city garage. They really went for it with the metallics, so if you're holding a bottle of Champagne Gold, you're in good company.

What to Watch For

To find your specific color code, check the passenger side door jamb first-Subaru likes to hide it there on a silver or white manufacturing plate. If it's not there, pop the hood and look at the strut towers (the metal mounds where the suspension connects). Now, for the reality check: Subaru paint is famously "polite," meaning it's a bit thin and soft. You'll likely notice chips on the front bumper and hood from highway debris. Because the clear coat is on the softer side, things like bird droppings can leave a mark if left too long. Don't worry, though; it's nothing a steady hand and a little time can't handle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Subaru paint is on the thinner side, the secret to a great repair is light, thin layers. If you try to fill a deep chip with one big "glob" of paint, it'll look like a tiny mountain on your hood. Instead, dab a small amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you are working with one of the many metallics, like Moon Silver or Marina Blue, shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary. Those tiny sparkles love to hide at the bottom, and you need them awake and dancing to get the best look.
