COLOR CODEC25 - Very Orange PearlTesla Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your car carries a piece of history that most modern owners will never see on a showroom floor. This shade was the flagship for early performance, famously draped over the original Roadster before making limited appearances on the first Model S units. It is an unapologetic, high-energy shade that makes your vehicle impossible to miss. Since your car has likely been on the road since 2014, you may notice the original finish has shifted slightly from the sun, but the core energy of the color remains the most vibrant in the fleet.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny mica particles to catch and bend light. This creates depth but makes your job more technical than working with a standard solid color. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the mica can bunch up and make the repair look darker or muddier than the rest of the panel. You want to build the color with thin layers to let the light pass through the paint and reflect back correctly, maintaining that glowing effect that defines the brand's early aesthetic.

Best Practices

You will find your identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Tesla Very Orange Pearl (check for code C25), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those heavy pearl pigments sink to the bottom and will not match unless they are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card before touching the vehicle to confirm the mix is right. Work in the shade, keep the container moving constantly, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the mica stays exactly where you put it.
