1993 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (18 OEM Colors)

The 1993 Ferrari Vibe

1993 was the year the Ferrari 348 GTB was screaming toward its redline and the 512 TR was busy being the last truly great evolution of the Testarossa lineage. It was a time of high-waisted tech and high-tension styling. While the world was obsessed with Rosso Corsa, we've focused our database on the sophisticated survivors-the ones that didn't just follow the red crowd. We're talking about the crisp, timeless White and the legendary Argento Metallic. These were the colors for the owners who knew that a Ferrari didn't need to be loud to be fast.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of The Peeling Era. By 1993, Ferrari had largely transitioned to a two-stage system, especially for those beautiful metallics like Argento. They were using high-solid solvent clears that looked a mile deep when they left Maranello, but there's a catch: the UV inhibitors in these early 90s formulas weren't nearly as robust as what we have today. If your Ferrari spent too much time baking in the Florida or California sun, you're likely seeing the dreaded "delamination"-where the clear coat decides it's had enough and starts lifting off the base color in white, flaky patches. Once it starts, it's a runaway train.

Restoration Tip

In this era, your best friend is a sealed edge. If you catch a stone chip on the hood of your 348, do not wait. In a 1993 solvent-based system, a chip isn't just an eyesore; it's an entry point for moisture and air to get between the color and the clear. Once that bond is compromised, the clear coat will begin to "bloom" and lift around the edges of the chip. Seal every chip immediately with a precision touch-up to lock that clear coat down. It's the difference between a simple spot repair and having to respray the entire nose of the car because the clear decided to peel off like a bad sunburn.
