Your Paint Color Profile

Pearl White Tricoat

The Look

This is the definitive look of the modern electric era. Whether you are driving a Model 3 or a flagship Model X, this finish provides a depth that standard white cannot match. While it appears as a clean, bright white in the shade, the sun reveals a warm, multidimensional glow. It is the most common color in the fleet, which means it handles daily road wear well, but its layered nature makes it a premium choice that demands more attention during a repair than a basic solid color.

Technical Details

This finish is a tri-coat, meaning it relies on a specific sequence of layers to achieve its final appearance. The depth comes from a semi-transparent mid-coat filled with ceramic pearl flakes. If you apply this pearl layer too heavily, the repair will look darker or more yellow than the rest of the panel. If you apply it too thin, it will look like a flat white. Matching this requires you to build the color slowly rather than trying to cover the spot in one go. Because the flakes are suspended in the liquid, they tend to settle quickly, which can lead to a patchy appearance if the mixture is not consistent.

Best Practices

Locate your certification label on the driver's side door jamb to confirm your details. Before you spray or dab Tesla Pearl White Tricoat (check for code SW), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least one full minute. This ensures the pearl flakes are evenly distributed. Since your Tesla is a newer model, the factory finish is still vibrant. Always test the color on the included card to see how many layers of pearl you need to match the factory depth. Maintain a consistent spray distance or flow and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer plenty of drying time in a covered garage or the shade before moving to the next step.

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 'SW', 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.
