COLOR CODEB110 - Glacier Blue MetallicTesla Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are driving a piece of Tesla history. This shade was a fleeting signature for the early Model S, available only in 2014 before the palette was streamlined. It sits in that sophisticated space between silver and sky blue, giving the car a crisp, icy character that is rarely seen on the road today. Since your car has been braving the elements for over a decade, you may notice the original finish has softened, but the unique depth of this color remains a standout compared to modern, flatter tones.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and create that "glacier" effect. The challenge with metallic paint is flake orientation. If the paint is applied too heavily or unevenly, the flakes bunch together and create dark, muddy patches known as mottling. This creates a bruised appearance on the panel rather than a smooth, even reflection. Consistency is your best friend when trying to make a repair disappear into the surrounding factory finish.

Best Practices

You can confirm your match by looking at the certification label on the driver side door pillar. Before you spray or dab Tesla Glacier Blue Metallic (check for code B110), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those metallic flakes are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card to verify the shade before touching the car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a cool garage or the shade to give yourself a predictable drying time and a smoother final result.
