1980 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (4 OEM Colors)

The 1980 Ferrari Vibe

It's 1980. Magnum P.I. is just hitting the airwaves, the 308 GTS is the undisputed king of the road, and the 512 BB is proving that flat-twelve power is the ultimate status symbol. In Maranello, they weren't overcomplicating the palette-they were giving you the hits. We've focused our database on the true survivors of the era, from the high-octane scream of Giallo Fly Yellow to the sophisticated, midnight depth of Nero. If you weren't driving one of these four colors, you were basically just waiting for the '80s to actually start.

Paint Health Check

But here's the reality check: we are firmly in the Single Stage Era. This isn't the "plastic-wrapped" finish you see on a modern commuter car; this is thick, solvent-heavy pigment that's as honest as a carbureted engine. However, that honesty comes with a price. Without a clear coat to act as a shield, your paint is essentially "breathing" the environment. If you've noticed your Corsa Rossa looking less like a racing legend and more like a chalky, pinkish eraser, you're looking at oxidation. That's the paint literally dying on the vine because it's being eaten alive by UV rays and oxygen.

Restoration Tip

Listen close: with 1980 paint, it needs wax or it dies. It's that simple. When you're using our touch-up kits to fill those road-rash chips on the nose of your Mondial or 308, you're working with a material that wants to bond and blend. But once that repair is leveled and cured, you have to seal the deal. A high-quality, non-abrasive wax is the only thing standing between your Ferrari and a "barn-find" nightmare. Keep that surface sealed to lock out the oxygen, and that 1980 shine will still be turning heads when the next century rolls around.
