Your Paint Color Profile

Solid Black

The Look

This color is the definition of a love-hate relationship. Whether it is on your Model 3 or a high-end Model X, this shade provides a deep, mirror-like finish that makes the car look like a solid sheet of obsidian. Since it is a pure black without any metallic flake or pearl to hide behind, it acts like a magnifying glass for every tiny scratch and piece of road grit. It is a classic choice for the Roadster and Model S, but it demands your full attention to keep that ink-like depth looking sharp.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no sparkles or shimmer effects to distract the eye. This makes the color match straightforward, but it also makes the paint appear less forgiving than metallic options. Before you dab or spray Tesla Solid Black (check for code S02 on your driver's side door pillar), you should know that because there is no metallic texture, any unevenness in your application will be visible. It is a rich, inky pigment that needs a smooth surface to truly shine.

Best Practices

Find your code on the manufacturing sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you start, shake your container for at least 60 seconds to ensure the black pigment is thoroughly mixed. Test the color on the included card to check the darkness against your existing finish. Work in your garage or in the shade, as black paint absorbs heat quickly and can dry unevenly in direct sun. Apply several thin layers rather than one heavy one, and give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays flat and deep. Keep the container moving as you apply to avoid any heavy spots that might ruin the reflection.

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 'S02', 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.
