Ferrari Grigio Metallic (700) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the sophisticated side of the Maranello lineup for nearly two decades. While many people associate these years with bright reds, this grey was the choice for owners who preferred the sharp geometry of their cars to speak for itself. Whether it is highlighting the side strakes of a Testarossa or the wedge profile of a 308, this shade adds a layer of industrial elegance. Since your car has likely been on the road for quite some time, you will notice how well this silver-grey hides road dust and age compared to darker shades. It is a mature, timeless finish that remains a favorite for those who value understated style across the entire range of models from this era.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to reflect light. These flakes are heavier than the pigment, so they naturally want to sink or clump together if the paint is not mixed perfectly. If the flakes are not distributed evenly during application, you might see dark patches or stripes known as mottling. This matters because a metallic repair needs to have a uniform flow to catch the light correctly from every angle. If you are too heavy with a single layer, the flakes can "drift" and create a cloudy look that ruins the metallic effect.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a silver or white sticker located on the underside of the engine lid or the front trunk lid. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Grigio Metallic (check for code 700), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This step is the only way to ensure those metallic flakes are loose and ready to provide a consistent match. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down before moving to your car. To avoid dark spots or uneven textures, keep the container moving across the surface and allow for plenty of drying time between thin, light layers.
