COLOR CODEVR.268 - WhiteMaserati Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the quintessential Italian white, often referred to as Bianco. While newer high-end models frequently lean toward complex pearls, this solid finish carries a legacy of classic racing. It provides a sharp, high-contrast look that defines the aggressive body lines of the Ghibli and Quattroporte without the distraction of metallic flake. Because there is no shimmer to hide behind, this color relies on a clean surface to look its best. It shows every speck of road grime and tar, so keeping your car washed is the only way to maintain that crisp, professional aesthetic.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. The benefit here is that you do not have to worry about metallic particles settling at the wrong angle or creating dark patches. The risk, however, is that solid colors are incredibly unforgiving when it comes to surface preparation. Any dust or sand scratches left behind will show through the final finish. Since your car has been on the road since 2014 or 2015, the original paint has likely aged under the sun. This means the fresh paint might appear slightly brighter than the weathered panels on your car, making careful blending into the surrounding area vital for a good result.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on a silver or white sticker located on the underside of the hood or along the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Maserati White (check for code VR.268), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the heavy white pigments are distributed throughout the mixture. Test the color on the included card to see how the shade reacts to your local light before applying it to the car. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, apply the paint in light, thin layers. Give each layer enough drying time to become tacky before you add the next. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly and becoming textured. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid any drips or heavy build-up in one spot.
