COLOR CODE216 - Bianco Alpi TricoatMaserati Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You aren't just driving a white car; you are driving a Ghibli that wears light like a tailored suit. Since your Maserati has been on the road, you have likely noticed how this finish shifts from a crisp, clean white in the shade to a deep, glowing ivory under direct sun. It was designed to highlight the aggressive body lines of the 2016-2026 era, giving the metal a heavy, liquid appearance that standard paints cannot replicate. Because this color is so bright, it shows road grime quickly, but that high-contrast glow is what makes the car stand out in a parking lot.

Technical Details

This is a sophisticated pearlescent tricoat, which means the depth comes from a semi-transparent middle layer sitting over a solid base. When you use your brush or nozzle, you are dealing with microscopic mica flakes that reflect light at different angles. The risk here is thickness; if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearl will look darker or "mottled" compared to the rest of the panel. To get a clean match, you need to focus on thin, even layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one go.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Maserati Bianco Alpi Tricoat (check for code 216), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find that code on a silver sticker located on the underside of the hood or the trunk lid. Once you are ready to work in your garage, always test the color on the included card to see how the pearl settles. Whether you are using a pen or a can, keep the container moving to ensure the mica flakes don't clump together. Give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from becoming cloudy.
