Your Paint Color Profile

Ross Metallic

The Look

This is not the screaming, track-ready red that everyone expects from the brand. Between 1984 and 1995, this was the sophisticated choice for owners of the Testarossa, 328, and Mondial who wanted their cars to look expensive rather than just fast. It is a deep, wine-inspired shade that offers a heavy dose of late-80s luxury. Since your car has been on the road for a few decades, you will notice that this color holds a specific kind of gravity that purely solid reds just cannot match.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, which means it relies on tiny silver particles suspended in the pigment to create its signature glow. The danger here is mottling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those metallic flakes will bunch up and create dark, cloudy patches that look like bruising on the panel. Because it is a metallic, it also requires a clear coat to achieve the high-gloss depth it had when it left Maranello. Without that final layer, the repair will look flat and dull compared to the surrounding factory finish.

Best Practices

You will find your paint ID sticker on a silver or yellow label located on the underside of the front hood or the rear engine lid. Before you spray or dab Ferrari Ross Metallic (check for code 305), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully distributed. Test the color on the included card first; reds are notorious for darkening as they age, so you want to see how the fresh pigment reacts before touching the car. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the flakes from pooling. Use light, thin layers and give the paint plenty of drying time to set before you even think about applying your clear coat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Ferrari Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Ferrari is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Ferrari color code '305' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
