1994 Suzuki Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Suzuki Vibe

Listen, 1994 was a transition year for the "Zuki" family. You had the Sidekick dominating the beach parking lots and the Swift proving that a three-cylinder engine could actually survive a highway on-ramp. While the mid-90s were famously obsessed with teal and magenta, we've focused on the survivors in our database: Satin Black and Superior White. These were the no-nonsense colors for the 1994 Suzuki lineup-the shades that actually looked good covered in trail mud or city soot.

Paint Health Check

If you're driving a survivor from '94, you're currently living in The Peeling Era. Automotive paint in the mid-90s was undergoing a massive shift in chemistry, and Suzuki's clear coats from this period are notorious for "delamination." It starts as a small, cloudy bubble or a stone chip that looks like a dry skin flake. Before you know it, the clear coat is lifting off in sheets, leaving the base color exposed and vulnerable. If your hood or roof looks like it has a bad sunburn, that's the factory clear coat finally throwing in the towel after thirty years.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a 1994 Suzuki looking decent is speed. Because this era is prone to delamination, you have to seal chips immediately. A tiny rock chip isn't just an eyesore; it's a breach in the clear coat's perimeter. Once moisture and air get under that edge, the clear will start to lift away from the basecoat like old wallpaper. Clean the area, dab your touch-up paint into the crater, and ensure the edges are completely sealed. If you catch it while it's still just a chip, you can stop the "peeling virus" before it claims the entire panel.
