2017~2025 CX-5 Paint hard to match Soul Red

[dueserdo]

How can I find a way to have my Soul Red match after some body damage was repaired?

Any body shop you look into, ask them what experience they have with the 3-stage paint that is Mazda Soul Red Crystal. There is a base coat, red coat, and clear. If they haven't done it before, you should probably keep looking.

And there are 2 versions of it depending on the year.

You can buy paint pens from Mazda in the correct color, but it only works for small chips and dings. Otherwise like @N7turbo said, start calling body shops and find a good one.

Thanks. I have a 2024 CX-5 Signature in Soul Red. Live near Reading, PA and will look for a body shop that can do it.

A week after I got mine I was hit in the front end, had to get the front bumper cover replaced, the Soul Red color. The body shop I used match it phenomenally perfect. Look for a high end body shop, look for the I-CAR Gold Class rating to start.

Just got my Soul Red 2024 back from the body shop and the color match is perfect. Was told to wait 2 weeks before using the car wash. Any thoughts?

Paint has to cure, takes a few weeks to do that, you might want to check for any imperfections after this period like runs, dirt in the paint, etc. that won't show up in fresh paint.
