1991 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 1991 Ferrari Vibe

Listen, 1991 was a transitional year in Maranello. We were saying goodbye to the raw, analog screams of the F40 and welcoming the "baby Testarossa" vibes of the 348 and the updated 512 TR. In the paint booth, it was the height of the modern classic era. While everyone and their brother was ordering Rosso Corsa, the real connoisseurs-the guys who didn't feel the need to shout-were opting for the sophisticated survivors. Our database for '91 focuses on those timeless icons: Argento Metallic and White. These weren't just colors; they were statements that looked like they were carved out of a single block of Italian marble or forged in a liquid silver foundry.

Paint Health Check

Now, here's the reality check from the guy holding the spray gun: we are deep in the "Peeling Era." By 1991, the industry had moved firmly into the Basecoat/Clearcoat world, especially for these high-end machines. It looks spectacular when it's fresh, but that clear coat was still in its awkward teenage years. If your Ferrari has seen the sun, you're likely dealing with Delamination. It starts with a tiny cloudy spot on the roof or the engine lid where the clear coat begins to quit its job. Once that bond between the base and the clear breaks, it's not just a fade-it's a slow-motion divorce. If you see edges that look like they're starting to lift or flake like a bad sunburn, that's the clear coat waving the white flag.

Restoration Tip

My advice for a 1991 survivor? Seal your chips immediately. Because this era of paint is prone to delamination, a rock chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish-it's an entry point for moisture. Once water gets under the edge of that clear coat, it starts to lift the surrounding area, and before you know it, you're repainting an entire panel instead of just touching up a speck. When you repair a chip on these cars, make sure you build up the base color and the clear layer to match the factory thickness. Don't just "blob" it on; use a fine-tipped applicator and seal the edge of the factory clear to stop the peeling process in its tracks.
