COLOR CODE510 - Blue Scuro PearlFerrari Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the sophisticated side of Maranello from the mid-nineties. While most buyers during that era were chasing bright red, this shade was for those who preferred a quiet presence. It makes the lines of your car look like they were carved from deep water. Since your Ferrari has been on the road for nearly three decades, you know how much this color relies on lighting. It appears nearly black in the shade but reveals a hidden blue depth when the sun hits the curves.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish. The blue pigment contains microscopic mica flakes that provide the characteristic factory glow. Dark pearls are honest; they show every ripple and imperfection in your repair. If the mica does not lay flat or clumps together, the finish will look blotchy or darker than the rest of the panel. You need to focus on thin layers to build the depth slowly. Because it is a pearl, a clear coat is necessary to protect the mica and lock in the metallic effect.

Best Practices

You will find your paint ID sticker on the underside of the engine deck lid or the front trunk. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Blue Scuro Pearl (check for code 510), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The mica flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to check the match against the current age and fade of your paint. Keep the container moving while you work to ensure the flakes distribute evenly. Work in a cool garage and allow for plenty of drying time between layers to avoid trapping solvents.
