Ferrari Gray Metallic (720) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Ferrari owners often choose this shade when they want their car to look like a piece of finely machined jewelry rather than a bright racing toy. This color is famously associated with a warm, champagne-infused elegance that has graced everything from classic grand tourers to modern supercars. Since your Ferrari likely spends its life being admired under different lighting, you will notice the gray shifts from a cool silver in the shade to a rich, golden-gray in direct sunlight. It is a sophisticated choice that highlights the complex aerodynamic curves of the bodywork without the aggressive shout of a traditional red.

Technical Details

This finish is a complex metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to create that signature depth and color shift. The metallic particles are heavier than the pigment, so they have a natural tendency to settle at the bottom of your container. If you apply the paint without thoroughly mixing these flakes, your repair will look like a dull, flat gray that won't match the rest of the car. You also need to be careful with how heavily you apply each layer; if the paint goes on too wet, the flakes can bunch together and create dark, blotchy patches known as mottling.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Ferrari Gray Metallic (check for code 720), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure the metallic particles are evenly distributed. You can usually find your paint ID sticker located on the underside of the front hood or the rear engine lid. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic flakes lay down before you touch the actual vehicle. While applying the paint, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and prevent any single area from becoming oversaturated. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color and depth properly.
