2016 Ferrari Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The 2016 Ferrari Vibe

2016 was the year Ferrari decided to prove that turbocharging wasn't a sin with the 488 GTB and the California T. It was an era of digital precision and high-revving theater. In our vault, we've tracked down 17 specific shades that defined this moment-from the piercing Rosso Scuderia to the deep, oceanic Blue Tour De France Metallic. It wasn't just about red anymore; the palette was leaning into sophisticated metallics like Argento and Blu California, giving these cars the look of liquid metal flying down the Autostrada.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2016, "Robot Efficiency" was the law of the land in Maranello. While the factory finishes look like glass from ten feet away, a closer look often reveals the "orange peel" texture that comes when robots are tuned for speed over soul. Because the clear coat is applied with such surgical (and stingy) precision, it's notoriously soft. A stray pebble on the highway doesn't just nick the surface; it craters through the thin layers like a meteor hitting a frozen lake. If you're seeing swirl marks from a simple car wash, don't be surprised-that clear coat is thinner than a Ferrari salesman's promise.

Restoration Tip

Since 2016 paint is all about thin, high-tech layers, you have to play by the same rules. When you're touching up a chip, build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you try to fill a deep crater in one heavy pass, you'll end up with a high spot that never quite matches the factory's lean profile. Apply a tiny amount, let it flash off, and repeat until you're level. You're looking to mimic the robot's precision, not a house painter's brush stroke.
