2016 Rolls-Royce Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2016 Rolls-Royce Vibe

2016 was a year of "Bespoke" everything. While the Phantom was busy taking its victory lap and the Dawn was just beginning to wake up the convertible market, the color palette on the street was pure Wall Street chic. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of that year: Reflex Silver Metallic and Tungsten Metallic. In a sea of experimental finishes, these were the heavy hitters-the colors that made a Ghost look like it was carved out of a single block of solid metal before it even left Goodwood.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. Even with a badge that costs more than a starter home, 2016 was the height of "Robot Efficiency." Back in the day, a painter would lay down enough lacquer to bury a secret, but by 2016, those factory robots were calibrated for precision, not depth. The result? A clear coat that's harder than a divorce lawyer's heart but thin enough to chip if you sneeze too close to the fender. If you look closely at the light catching the doors of an All-Models 2016 build, you might even spot a hint of "orange peel" texture-a classic sign that the factory was more worried about the clock than the glass-smooth finishes of the 1960s.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2016 metallic like Tungsten, remember: the robots didn't "blob" it, and neither should you. Because these factory coats are remarkably thin, a heavy-handed repair will stand out like a sore thumb. The secret is to build your layers slowly. Apply your color in thin, light passes to let those metallic flakes lay down flat and uniform. If you just drop a bead of paint into a chip, the silver flakes will stand on end and look like a dark mole on a supermodel. Patience is the only way to get that "liquid metal" look back without a full respray.
