COLOR CODE593 - Midnight BlueFerrari Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Choosing this shade suggests you value the heritage of Maranello over the flash of traditional racing red. While it appeared on all models between 2014 and 2016, this color is most famous for giving the California T and the FF a dignified, historical presence. It is a deep, brooding navy that carries enough weight to look black in the evening but reveals its true blue character under the midday sun. Since your car has been part of the landscape for a few years, you will notice that this shade maintains a glass-like depth that makes modern Ferraris look like vintage grand tourers.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it relies on pure pigment rather than metallic flakes to create its impact. The lack of sparkle makes for a more authentic, classic look, but it also means there is nothing to hide your work. Dark solid colors are notoriously unforgiving because they show every tiny ripple or piece of dust that settles during the process. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Midnight Blue (check for code 593), you need to ensure your work area is as clean as possible, as any stray hair or lint will be magnified against the dark backdrop.

Best Practices

You can find the paint identification on a silver foil sticker located on the underside of the front hood or the rear trunk lid. Before starting the repair, you must shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the heavy blue pigments are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to see how the depth builds with each layer. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the paint lays flat and even. It is better to apply three thin coats with plenty of drying time between them than one thick coat that might sag or trap bubbles in the finish.
