2014 Rolls-Royce Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2014 Rolls-Royce Vibe

By 2014, the Rolls-Royce lineup-led by the imposing Ghost and the then-new, fastback Wraith-had fully embraced the era of "Stealth Wealth." It was the year when looking like a million bucks meant looking like a solid block of precious metal. We've focused our vault on the only colors that really mattered for this vintage: Reflex Silver Metallic and Tungsten Metallic. These weren't just paints; they were the official shades of "quiet luxury" before everyone and their mother started ordering their SUVs in primer gray. If you were behind the wheel of a Phantom in 2014, you wanted a finish that looked like it was poured, not sprayed.

Paint Health Check

Here is the cold, hard truth: 2014 puts us square in the Thin Paint Era. While the artisans at Goodwood are masters of their craft, they were still working with modern robotic applications designed for extreme efficiency. This means your clear coat is likely thinner than you'd expect for a car of this stature. The "Robot Efficiency" of the 2010s makes for a mirror-like finish, but it's prone to "brittle chipping." On a massive hood like the Ghost's, a single highway stone doesn't just leave a mark-it creates a microscopic impact site where the clear coat can eventually lose its grip on the base layer.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these modern metallics, remember the Golden Rule of the Thin Paint Era: build layers slowly and do not blob it. Because the factory finish is so lean, a big, thick drop of touch-up paint will stand out like a sore thumb against the flat, robotic factory plane. Use a fine-tipped applicator to bridge the chip in thin, transparent passes. Let the metallic flakes settle naturally so they match the "flop" of the surrounding Reflex Silver or Tungsten. If you try to fill the hole in one shot, you'll end up with a dark, heavy spot that ruins the illusion of a seamless finish.
