COLOR CODE9902 - Stealth GrayTesla Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Stealth Gray is the moody successor to the classic Midnight Silver, bringing a deeper charcoal tone to the Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Model Y. Since your car is likely a 2024 or newer model, the factory finish hasn't had much time to fade, which makes a color match far easier to achieve. It is dark enough to mimic black in the shade, but once you pull into the sun, the depth reveals itself. This shade carries a heavy presence on the road, though you will find it shows road salt and dust much like a true black car.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish that relies on fine flakes to achieve its character. The challenge with a dark metallic like this is avoiding a patchy look where those flakes clump together. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallics will sink and create a dark, uneven area that ruins the factory appearance. Success depends on thin, even layers that allow the flakes to sit flat on the surface rather than piling up.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Tesla Stealth Gray (check for code 9902), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your specific code on the manufacturing label located on the driver's side door pillar. To avoid an uneven finish, keep the container moving across the surface rather than focusing on one spot. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and flake distribution. Apply your layers in the shade and allow for the full drying time between coats so the paint doesn't drag or smudge.
