COLOR CODE290314 - Verde Goodwood MicaMaserati Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the connoisseur's choice for the 2003-2009 era. While most Quattroporte and Coupe owners played it safe with silver or black, this deep, forest-inspired shade gave the M139 chassis a level of gravitas that few other colors could manage. It is a sophisticated nod to classic racing heritage, but it trades the flat look of traditional racing green for a deep, liquid depth that feels much more expensive. Since your Maserati has likely spent over a decade on the road, you will notice that this color holds its dignity well, though it can look almost black in the shade before the light hits those hidden green highlights.

Technical Details

This is a Mica finish, which means it behaves differently than a standard metallic. Instead of simple aluminum bits, it uses translucent flakes that allow light to pass through and reflect at various depths. This creates a multidimensional effect, but it also creates a challenge for repairs. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica flakes will sink and bunch up, making the touch-up look significantly darker than the surrounding panel. You are looking for a balance: enough coverage to hide the primer, but thin enough for the light to actually reach the flakes.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on a silver PPG sticker located on the underside of the hood or the interior of the trunk lid. Before you spray or dab Maserati Verde Goodwood Mica (check for code 290314), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Those mica particles are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container; if you don't mix them thoroughly, you will just be applying dark green pigment without the sparkle. Test the color on the included card before moving to the car to see how the flakes settle. When you are ready, keep the container moving to ensure the particles distribute evenly, and stick to thin, light layers. Give each layer plenty of drying time so you can accurately judge the color match as it cures.
