COLOR CODE604 - Verde Tenue MetallicFerrari Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Choosing this shade means you appreciate the intellectual side of Maranello. While everyone else was ordering their 328 or Testarossa in a predictable red, a few discerning owners opted for a sophisticated, pale green that looked more at home on the coast of Monaco than a race track. This color is light, airy, and has a silver undertone that shifts depending on the angle of the sun. It gives your car a refined presence that feels timeless rather than dated, highlighting the crisp lines of eighties Italian design without shouting for attention.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which presents a specific challenge for your repair. The light green pigment is translucent, meaning the silver flakes suspended inside do all the heavy lifting for the final appearance. If these flakes settle unevenly, you will see dark patches or tiger stripes across the surface. Because your car was likely built between 1984 and 1995, the original finish has probably shifted slightly due to UV exposure. This makes it vital to focus on your technique to ensure the new metallic particles lay down in a way that mimics the surrounding aged panels.

Best Practices

Before you apply Ferrari Verde Tenue Metallic (locate code 604 on the silver sticker under your front hood or engine lid), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes. Those metallic flakes are heavy and will sink to the bottom; if you don't mix them thoroughly, your repair will look dark and muddy. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes catch the light before moving to the car. To prevent the flakes from clumping, keep the container moving at a steady pace and maintain a consistent spray distance. Work in the shade to ensure a steady drying time, and avoid the temptation to go too heavy on the first layer.
