Suzuki Forenza Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Suzuki (and their partners at GM/Daewoo) actually gave the Forenza a surprisingly vibrant wardrobe. With 14 colors on the books, they didn't just stick to the basics. While you'll see plenty of Absolute White and Titanium Silver Metallic out in the wild, they really went for it with shades like Sunburst Metallic and Harvest Gold Metallic. Whether you're driving the deep Cypress Blue Metallic or the punchy Victory Red, your Forenza was designed to stand out in a parking lot-provided we get those chips covered up.

What to Watch For

If you're looking for your paint code, don't go hunting through the glovebox just yet. On the Forenza, you'll usually find that little ID plate right in the center of the firewall (that's the metal wall at the back of the engine bay). It might also be hanging out on the radiator support or the driver's door jamb, but the firewall is its favorite hiding spot.

In terms of wear, these cars are known for having a bit of a "sun-sensitive" clear coat. Keep an eye on the roof and the hood; the paint here tends to get thirsty and can start to peel or fade, especially if you're rocking one of the reds or darker pearls like Tuxedo Black Pearl. If you see a tiny chip, grab your touch-up pen quickly-catching it early prevents that "sunburn" look from spreading across the panel.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Forenza colors are "Pearl" or "Metallic" (looking at you, Medium Green Pearl Metallic), your biggest secret weapon is the shake. Shake that touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds-even after you think it's mixed-to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sink to the bottom. When you apply it, think of it like nail polish: one thin layer is your friend. If the chip is deep, let the first layer dry for 20 minutes before adding another. Achieving a perfect match with these high-sparkle colors requires patience, but building it up slowly will get you a finish that looks great from the sidewalk.
