Suzuki Baleno Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Suzuki really leaned into the "practical yet punchy" vibe with 9 recorded colors for the Baleno. They clearly had a thing for the bold, giving us shades like Bordeaux Red Pearl and the high-energy Boost Blue Pearl. Of course, they didn't forget the classics, offering a sophisticated spectrum of "grown-up" tones including Urban Gray Metallic and Carbon Black Metallic. Whether you're driving the flashy Bright Red Tricoat or the understated Switchblade Silver, it's a lineup that proves a daily driver can still have plenty of personality.
What to Watch For
Here's the honest truth: Suzuki paint is famously "soft." While that makes it look great on the showroom floor, it means the Baleno is a bit of a magnet for stone chips on the hood and front bumper. You might also notice the paint feels a little thin near the door handles, so keep an eye out for early wear there. To find your specific color code, pop the hood and look at the firewall (the metal wall at the back of the engine bay) or check the passenger-side door jamb for a small ID plate. Look for a three-character code-that's your golden ticket to a perfect match.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with one of those gorgeous Pearl or Metallic shades, your biggest secret weapon is the shake. Those tiny metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 to 90 seconds before you start-think of it as a mini-workout for your forearm. When you apply the paint, resist the urge to fill the whole chip in one go. Use the "less is more" approach: dab on a paper-thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then go back for a second pass. Patience is what turns a "visible fix" into a "where did that chip go?" success.
