2020 Maserati Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Maserati Vibe

Welcome to 2020, the year the world hit the brakes, but Maserati kept the throttle pinned. Whether you were piloting a Ghibli through empty city streets or letting a GranTurismo scream on the open highway, you were doing it in style. Our database shows a whopping 23 colors for this year-which is really just a fancy way of saying Maserati offered fifteen different ways to paint a car "White" or "Gray" and called it a revolution. Between Bianco Alpi Tricoat and Grigio Maratea, they practically owned the monochromatic spectrum. It was a vibe of "High-Speed Sophistication," provided you didn't look too closely at the front bumper after a single weekend drive.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Thin Paint Era, kid. These 2020 models were born in the age of "Robot Efficiency." Back in the day, we sprayed lacquer thick enough to stop a bullet; now, the factory robots at Maserati apply clear coat so thin you could practically read a newspaper through it. The result? These cars look like a million bucks in the showroom, but they're rock-chip magnets. On a Quattroporte, those aggressive lines are just waiting to catch every piece of grit on the asphalt. Because the clear coat is applied with such miserly precision, it doesn't have the "give" of older paints. Instead of a scratch, you get a chip that goes straight to the primer before you've even finished your first espresso.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2020 finish, remember the Golden Rule of the Thin Paint Era: Build layers slowly; don't blob it. If you're working with a Rosso Energia Tricoat or Bianco Alpi, you aren't just dabbing on paint; you're performing surgery. Because the factory finish is so flat and thin, a giant "blob" of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. Use a fine-tipped applicator and apply multiple whisper-thin layers, letting each one dry completely. You want to bring the level of the repair up to the surrounding clear coat, not past it. Robots might be stingy with the paint, but you have to be patient with the fix.
