2007 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The 2007 Ferrari Vibe

Welcome to 2007-the year Ferrari celebrated its 60th anniversary and the F430 and 599 GTB Fiorano were screaming toward redlines across the globe. While the rest of the world was distracted by the launch of the first iPhone, Maranello was busy proving they could do more than just "Racing Red." Our database tracks 19 distinct shades from this vintage, and it's a sophisticated mix. You had the classics like Argento Metallic and Nero, but the real stars were the deep, complex tones like Blue Tour De France Metallic and the various Gray Metallics that gave the 612 Scaglietti its "grown-up" supercar status. It was an era of high-speed elegance where the color palette finally caught up to the performance.

Paint Health Check

By 2007, we had officially entered The Thin Paint Era. This was the peak of "Robot Efficiency." The factory sprayers in Maranello had become incredibly precise, which is great for the bean counters but a headache for us. They started laying down base and clear coats with microscopic thinness-just enough to cover the car, but leaving very little "meat on the bone" for future buffing or correction. Because these cars sit so low to the tarmac, that thin, brittle factory finish is prone to "road rash" and peppering. If you've got an F430 with a nose that looks like it's been through a gravel storm, don't blame the previous owner-blame the robotic stinginess of the mid-2000s.

Restoration Tip

When you're tackling chips on a 2007 model, remember that "less is more" is a lie-you actually need more layers applied with less paint. Because the factory clear is so lean, a single heavy "blob" of touch-up will never level out properly and will likely stay soft and prone to shrinking. Build your repair layers slowly. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip, let it dry, and repeat the process until the crater is filled. This mimics the multi-pass robotic application and ensures the repair stays flush with that thin factory finish. Don't try to be a hero and fix it in one go; take your time or you'll end up with a hood that looks like it has the measles.
