FIAT car paint 

There is a list that has been compiled for decades to bring together all the paint references that have been used on the different models of Fiat vehicles : it is the database containing the color codes of Italian cars ; in this case, the color codes of Fiat cars and which more or less all car paint manufacturers or bodybuilders have.
We say "more or less" because only the Fiat car manufacturer actually has all the Fiat color code formulas. These recipes are never disclosed to other companies. It is not forbidden to copy or recreate them and this is what most automotive paint manufacturers do.
This long and laborious work was done separately by each paint manufacturer.
Unfortunately, the efforts are not pooled and competition is required between the different actors of painting. The job is to analyze an applied sample of the color, then find the formula using the various components, mainly pigments, which are common for all colorists, and one by one, find the formulas and colors very exactly.
In the automotive world, there is indeed no possibility of having a slight difference : the similarity of the color must be absolutely perfect. Indeed, if you do a touch-up on a portion of the vehicle, the slightest difference in color will be obvious.

The car color codes of the FIAT

In the industrial field of car manufacturers, a mode of operation has been adopted since the post-war period for listing body paints.
Each manufacturer has produced its own colors over the years to make these vehicles as attractive as possible and to match the desires and preferences of potential customers who, after the Second World War and the democratization of the automobile, are become a mass of millions of customers.
With the proliferation of brands and of course the proliferation of models, for which there are several possible colors, after tens of years thousands and thousands of color codes have been produced.
The Fiat color codes, for example, represent well over a hundred references.
The classification by Fiat or other car color code has been a system intelligently put in place to regulate, classify, list all the paints according to the manufacturers and thus, never leave room for error.
A Fiat car color code is always accompanied by its name. The name is a commercial expression made up of several words that present the color. It comes in addition to the Fiat color code which of course could be identical to that of another manufacturer and could cause confusion. It's actually a double check with the color code on one side and the color name on the other.
This kind of information is not always easy to find and sometimes you have to go to a dealer to get the right references.

The history of the manufacturer FIAT

The Fiat brand is the acronym of the Italian "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" which means the Italian automobile factory in Turin.
This major company in the global automotive market, which today belongs to the Stellantis group (Chrysler, Peugeot, Citroën), was founded in 1899.
Initially, it was not the work of a small isolated entrepreneur, as was often the case with the first stories of other manufacturers, but rather of a group of determined shareholders.
From the start, Fiat saw things big with its entrepreneurial and investment vision with a factory of nearly 12,000 m² and 150 workers.
From its beginnings, that is to say at the beginning of the 20th century, it launched itself into car racing. It will then show great adaptability by manufacturing trucks, trams, buses, engines for the navy and aviation. In 1930, Fiat was already an industrial empire and it was to benefit from the post-war economic boom to continue to expand. Today, the Fiat group is a healthy manufacturer that has invested heavily in new emerging countries, such as Brazil.

Where to find the color code of your FIAT car ?

Since the dealer prefers to sell his services, especially paint repair, he is not forced to give you the paint references you ask him and can pretend not to know them. Moreover, it is true that over decades the Fiat group has produced so many color codes that it is sometimes difficult to know all the colors. So, to find the Fiat color code yourself reliably and quickly, here are some pointers :
