2015 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The 2015 Ferrari Vibe

Welcome to 2015, the year Maranello was playing a high-stakes game of "how much power is too much?" You had the 458 Speciale singing its final naturally aspirated swan song while the California T was ushering in the turbo era with a whistle. It was a good year to have eyes. Our database is packing 16 shades from this vintage, and while everyone loses their mind over Rosso Scuderia, the real ones know the 2015 vibe was defined by the depth of Blu California and the clinical, high-speed look of Argento Metallic. It was an era of transition-the cars were getting faster, and the paint booths were getting more "scientific."

Paint Health Check

Here is the cold, hard truth: 2015 falls squarely into the "Robot Efficiency" era. Back in the day, a guy named Luigi might have laid down enough lacquer to satisfy a museum, but by 2015, the robots took over. They're precise, sure, but they're stingy. These cars came off the line with a clear coat that's thinner than a supercar's profit margin. Because the factory was chasing "efficiency," you're likely seeing two things by now: a fair bit of "orange peel" texture in the clear and a nose section that looks like it's been through a gravel storm. That hard, thin clear coat is brittle-when a pebble hits it at 150 mph, it doesn't dent; it shatters.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2015, leave the "one-and-done" attitude at the door. Because the factory finish is so thin and precise, a giant blob of paint will stick out like a sore thumb. You need to build your layers like a fine watchmaker. Apply a thin coat of color, let it flash off, and repeat until the depth is right. When it comes time for the clear, don't overfill it. Modern clear coats from this era are notoriously "soft" and prone to swirling, so take your time leveling it off. Remember: you're trying to mimic a robot's surgical precision, not a house painter's brush stroke. Build it slow, or don't build it at all.
