Maserati Nero (Q820) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive Italian tuxedo for your car. Unlike its metallic cousins that rely on sparkles to hide the dirt, this shade is a deep, pure obsidian that creates a mirror-like finish on the broad panels of a Quattroporte. Because it has been a staple for Maserati between 2016 and 2026, it carries a weight of executive authority that never goes out of style. It is an honest color that celebrates the actual shape of the metal rather than distracting the eye with flake or pearl.

Technical Details

Since this is a solid finish, you are dealing with a single-stage depth that is both rewarding and demanding. There are no metallic particles to worry about settling at the bottom of the container, which makes it easier to get a true color match. However, solid black is famous for highlighting every tiny imperfection or ripple in your application. Before you spray or dab Maserati Nero (check for code Q820), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. If the pigments aren't perfectly mixed, the final result can look slightly hazy or gray instead of that deep, wet-ink black your car deserves.

Best Practices

You can typically find your paint code on a silver sticker located on the underside of the hood or inside the trunk lid. To ensure you have the right match, always test the color on the included card before you bring the tool to your car's body. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to avoid build-up in any one area. Allow plenty of drying time between very thin layers. This patience is what prevents the repair from looking like a raised blob and helps it sink into the surrounding finish for a professional result in your own garage or shade.
