COLOR CODE322 - RedFerrari Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the pulse of the brand. It is the color that define generations of performance, appearing on every major release from the 360 Modena and F430 to the modern 488 and F8 Tributo. This shade represents the official racing heritage of Italy and carries a weight that other reds cannot match. Because it is a pure, bright pigment, it highlights every aggressive line and aerodynamic vent on your car. You should be aware that such a vibrant surface acts like a spotlight for road debris and dust, so keeping the finish clean is a full-time commitment for any owner.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearl additives. The lack of sparkle makes for a deeper, more traditional look that is easier to match than complex multi-stage paints. However, solid colors are less forgiving when it comes to surface preparation because they do not have any glitter to hide small scratches or sanding marks. Since your car has likely spent time in the sun, you should anticipate that the original paint may have shifted slightly in tone over the years. Solid reds are particularly susceptible to UV fading, so a fresh application might look a bit richer than the surrounding panels until it fully cures.

Best Practices

You will find your identification label on a silver or yellow sticker located on the underside of the front hood or the rear engine compartment lid. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Red (check for code 322), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy pigments are properly mixed. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to verify the match. Whether you are using a pen or a can in your garage, apply the paint in thin, light layers and keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up or runs. Allow for adequate drying time between each pass to ensure the new finish lays flat and bonds correctly to the surface.
