Maserati Ghibli Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Maserati didn't hold back with the Ghibli, offering a palette of 15 colors that sound more like a wine list than a paint catalog. From the deep, moody Rosso Folgore Mica to the shimmering Bianco Alpi Tricoat, they really went for the "Italian Drama" aesthetic. Whether you're rocking the stealthy Nero Ribelle Mica or the surprisingly bold Champagne Metallescent, these colors are designed to catch the sun-and unfortunately, every stray pebble on the interstate.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling, you'll need your "DNA sequence"-the paint code. On a Ghibli, pop the hood and look for a silver or white sticker usually located on the underside of the bonnet or near the driver-side firewall. It's typically a three-digit number, like 571 for Grigio Maratea or 406 for Blu Emozione.

Now, for the reality check: Maserati is known for a bit of "orange peel" (a slightly bumpy texture in the clear coat) and a relatively soft finish. This means your front bumper and the leading edge of the hood are likely magnets for tiny white chips. You might also notice the paint feels a bit thin on the door edges. Don't worry-this is exactly what touch-up kits were born for.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Rosso Energia or Blu Passione-are Micas or Tricoats, they rely on tiny sparkles to look right. My golden rule: Shake that touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. Seriously, set a timer. Those metallic flakes are heavy and like to nap at the bottom of the bottle; if you don't wake them up, your repair will look too dark.

When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of a toothpick or a very fine brush to drop the paint into the chip rather than painting over it. These complex Italian shades require patience to get the depth right, so build it up in two or three paper-thin layers rather than one big glob. Let it dry, let it settle, and let that trident shine.
