COLOR CODE506 - Blue Medio MetallicFerrari Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the sophisticated side of the 1980s and early 90s. While most buyers defaulted to the usual red, the owners who chose this blue wanted a car that looked refined at a gala and aggressive on the Autostrada. It fits the angular lines of the Testarossa and the 348 series by adding a layer of depth that flat colors simply cannot match. Since your Ferrari has likely spent plenty of time in the sun over the last few decades, the original finish has its own unique character now, making a careful touch-up the best way to preserve that vintage Italian soul.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint relies on tiny flakes to create its signature reflection. The challenge with any metallic is mottling. If the flakes cluster together instead of laying flat, you will see dark spots or stripes in the finish. This matters because the way the light hits those flakes determines if the repair disappears or stands out. You want an even distribution to ensure the metallic glow matches the rest of the panel from every angle.

Best Practices

To find your paint code, look for a small silver or yellow sticker located on the underside of the front hood or the engine deck lid. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Blue Medio Metallic (check for code 506), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container quickly. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before you move to the actual car. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling and to keep the flake distribution even. Give the area plenty of drying time between applications to ensure the finish stays level and clean.
