Maserati Blu Sebring Metallic (203852) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This blue represents the peak of Maserati's early-2000s resurgence. It is a deep, rich navy that only reveals its full metallic character when direct light hits the surface. Because it was a staple for everything from the 4200 GT to the early Quattroporte, it is one of the most recognizable shades of that era. Since your car has likely lived a full life over the last two decades, the original paint may have shifted slightly in tone from sun exposure, so focus on light blending to bridge the gap between the old finish and the new.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny particles that provide its characteristic depth and glow. Metallic paints require a careful hand because those particles are heavy. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch together and create dark patches or "mottling." This makes the repair look like a bruise on the car rather than a clean fix. Thin layers are the secret here to ensure the flakes lay flat and catch the light evenly.

Best Practices

You can typically find your identification plate on a silver sticker located under the hood along the firewall or on the underside of the trunk lid. Before you spray or dab Maserati Blu Sebring Metallic (check for code 203852), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly mix those heavy metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to verify the tone and check your flow. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between thin layers to build a finish that matches the weight and depth of the original factory coat.
