Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Maserati isn't exactly known for painting their cars in "look-at-me" neon green. They prefer the "effortlessly cool Italian" vibe. While we've recorded 2 primary colors-the deep Grigio Granito and the classic White-the reality is that Maserati has a bit of a love affair with "50 shades of grey." Whether it's a metallic granite or a crisp pearl white, these cars are designed to look like they're speeding even when they're parked in front of a cafe.
What to Watch For
Before you start, you'll need to find your paint code. Pop the hood and look for a silver sticker on the underside of the bonnet or near the firewall; if it's playing hard to get, check the driver's side door jamb. Now, the reality: Italian paint is beautiful but notoriously soft. This means your GranTurismo is a bit of a magnet for stone chips on the nose. You might also notice the paint starting to act up or bubble slightly around the door handles or window trim-it's a common quirk, but nothing you can't handle with a steady hand.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because colors like Grigio Granito are packed with metallic flakes, they require a bit of "bartender energy." Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds longer than you think you need to; you want to wake up those heavy metallic particles so they don't just sit at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: one thick blob is your enemy. Apply a tiny, thin layer, let it dry, and add another if needed. It requires some patience, but it ensures the repair sits flush rather than looking like a tiny mountain on your hood.
