Your Paint Color Profile

Armor Black

The Look

This is the ultimate stealth upgrade for your Tesla. Whether you are driving the Model 3, Model S, Model X, or Model Y, this finish transforms the car into a muted, industrial machine that refuses to reflect the world around it. It lacks the mirror-like shine of traditional blacks, which means it highlights the sharp body lines of your vehicle rather than hiding them. Since your 2024 model is likely a recent addition to your driveway, maintaining that specific low-sheen look is the only way to keep the factory aesthetic intact.

Technical Details

This is a satin finish, which presents a unique challenge compared to standard gloss paints. It is a solid color with no metallic flake, but it relies on flattening agents to achieve that eggshell texture. If you try to polish or buff a repair on this surface, you will create a permanent shiny spot that ruins the matte effect. Because there is no clear coat to hide behind, you have to be careful about the thickness of your application. If you apply too much at once, the texture will look uneven against the rest of the panel.

Best Practices

You will find your identification label on the driver side door jamb, which confirms your specific color choice. Before you spray or dab Tesla Armor Black (check for code 19E), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the flattening agents are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to see how the sheen settles as it dries. When you are ready to apply it in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Let the drying time work for you by applying several thin layers rather than one heavy 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 Tesla Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Tesla's color code is '19E', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Tesla, we will send you a replacement or refund.

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.
