Ferrari Blue Metallic (525) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the hallmark of a gentleman's Ferrari. It trades the aggressive, high-decibel shout of Rosso Corsa for a sophisticated, deep-sea elegance that highlights the engineering. Since your car has likely been on the road between 2008 and 2026, it possesses those sharp, wind-sculpted creases that this blue was designed to accentuate. In the shade, it looks reserved and moody, but once you pull it into the light, the metallic depth creates high-contrast highlights that make the car look like it is carved from a solid block of sapphire.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny silver particles to create that signature shimmer. The main challenge here is flake orientation. If your flow is inconsistent or if you stay in one spot too long, those flakes will settle in clumps rather than lying flat. This creates a blotchy effect known as mottling, which looks like dark clouds or bruising under the clear coat. To get a factory-level finish, you need to ensure the metallic layer is thin and even so the light bounces off the surface uniformly.

Best Practices

To find your confirmation sticker, open the front trunk or the rear engine compartment and look for a silver or yellow label on the underside of the lid. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Blue Metallic (check for code 525), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended in the mix. Always test the color on the included card first to verify the match against your car's specific level of sun exposure. When you begin the repair in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling and to keep the shimmer consistent across the repair area. Once the drying time has passed, remember that this finish requires a clear coat to protect the flakes and provide the deep gloss your Ferrari deserves.
