2003 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The 2003 Ferrari Vibe

By 2003, the Ferrari factory in Maranello was fully possessed by the spirit of the "New Millennium." This was the peak of the 360 Modena's reign and the year the 575M Maranello was showing the world what a front-engine V12 should look like. While the purists were still screaming for Rosso Corsa, the 18 colors in our database tell a different story. 2003 was the era of the "Titanium" look-think Argento Metallic and those deep Gray Metallics that made the cars look like they were milled from a solid block of tech. It was a sophisticated palette, even if you were one of the brave souls who ordered British Racing Green just to confuse the neighbors.

Paint Health Check

Listen, kid, 2003 falls square into what I call "The Peeling Era." Ferrari had moved fully into the world of multi-stage PPG finishes. On paper, it was a revolution: high-gloss, deep reflection, and a clear coat designed to take the brunt of the world. But here's the reality: those early-2000s clear coats are starting to hit their expiration date. If your Ferrari has spent too much time basking in the sun or under a cheap car cover, you're looking at Delamination. Once that clear coat decides it doesn't want to be friends with the base color anymore, it starts to lift, cloud, and eventually flake off like a bad sunburn.

Restoration Tip

The low-slung noses on the 360 and 575 are absolute magnets for road debris. Because this is a clear-coated system, a stone chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish-it's an entry point. Once air and moisture get under that clear layer, the "peel" starts to spread. Therefore, you need to seal chips immediately. Don't wait for a full detail; get a solvent-based touch-up pen on those pits the second they appear. Building up the layers slowly in the chip will lock the clear coat's edges back down and prevent a small pebble from turning into a thousand-dollar respray of the entire hood.
