Suzuki SX-4 Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Suzuki might have built the SX-4 as a practical, pint-sized adventurer, but they certainly didn't play it safe in the paint booth. We've tracked 23 different colors for this model, ranging from the ultra-common Silky Silver Metallic to the bold Sunlight Copper Pearl Metallic. They really went for it with the palette-whether yours is dressed in the moody Nocturne Blue Pearl or the punchy Flash Red, there is a lot of personality packed into these panels.

What to Watch For

Now, here's the honest truth: Suzuki paint is a bit like a polite guest-it doesn't want to take up too much space, so it tends to be applied a little thin from the factory. If you drive a red model like Ablaze Red or Fervent Red, you might notice chips appearing more often than on your neighbor's car. It's not your fault; the clear coat is just on the "soft" side. Before you start, hunt down your 3-digit paint code. You'll usually find it on a metal plate bolted to the firewall (that's the wall at the very back of the engine bay) or tucked inside the driver's side door jamb.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many SX-4 colors are pearls or metallics (I'm looking at you, Techno Blue and White Pearl Tricoat), your biggest secret weapon is a good 60-second workout. Seriously-shake that touch-up bottle until your arm hurts. You need to "wake up" those tiny metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think thin and patient. Instead of one giant drop to fill a chip, dab in two or three paper-thin layers. It takes a little longer, but it's the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a grape stuck to your hood.
