Subaru XT Coupe Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Subaru didn't just build a car with the XT Coupe; they built a doorstop from the future. To match that intergalactic "wedge" aesthetic, they rolled out 21 different colors that really leaned into the era. We're talking about everything from the deep Extra Black to the delightfully 80s Herb Green and Cinnamon Metallic. They even gave us names like Space Blue Metallic and Lightning Silver Metallic, just in case you forgot you were driving something that looked like it belonged on a moon base. Whether yours is Marina Blue or Champagne Gold, they really went for it with this palette.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the honest truth: Subaru paint from this era was known for being a bit "thin," and that legendary wedge shape is a magnet for the sun. If you've got a Flare Red or Mica Red, you've likely noticed the sun has been "borrowing" some of that pigment over the years. You'll also want to look closely at the flat surfaces-the hood and roof-where the clear coat loves to get a little flaky or "white" around the edges. To find your specific color code, pop the hood and look at the strut towers (the metal mounds where the suspension attaches) or the firewall. You're looking for a small metal plate with a three-digit code.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many XT colors are metallic-like that Moon Silver or Lake Blue-the "sparkles" in your touch-up bottle tend to settle at the bottom like lead weights. Before you even touch the car, shake that bottle for at least two full minutes. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big glob to fill a chip, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then go back for a second layer. This helps the metallic flakes lay down flat so they catch the light the right way, rather than looking like a dark smudge on your futuristic fighter jet.
