Suzuki Alto Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Suzuki Alto may be small, but it certainly isn't shy. Suzuki recorded 9 distinct colors for this little road warrior, ranging from the surprisingly sophisticated Mineral Gray Metallic to the "look at me!" glow of Sunlight Copper Pearl Metallic. Whether you're rocking the deep Prussian Blue Metallic or the fiery Fervent Red, Suzuki really went for it with a palette that packs a lot of personality into a compact footprint. It's a mix of "sensible commuter" and "weekend sparkler."

What to Watch For

Here's the honest truth: Suzuki paint is famously "soft." It's built for efficiency, which means it can be a bit thin and prone to stone chips on the hood or fading if it spends too much time baking in the sun-especially those vibrant reds and blues. Before you start, you'll need your 3-character code (like Z2S or Z7T). You can usually find it on a small metal ID plate bolted to the **firewall** (the metal wall behind the engine) or tucked inside the **passenger side door jamb**. If you see a few chips on the leading edge of the roof or the door handles, don't worry-that's standard Alto territory and very fixable in a driveway.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these shades, like White Pearl Tricoat or Super Black Pearl, are loaded with metallic flakes and pearls, they "settle" in the bottle quickly. Give your touch-up pen or brush a vigorous shake for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, remember that the factory paint is thin, so your repair should be too. Instead of one big "blob" to fill a chip, dab on two or three paper-thin layers. It requires patience to let it dry between coats, but it's the secret to making that repair disappear into the finish.
