2017 Rolls-Royce Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Rolls-Royce Vibe

By 2017, the Goodwood factory was humming with a specific kind of modern arrogance. The Phantom VII was taking its final bow, while the Wraith and Dawn were out here trying to prove that a Rolls-Royce could actually be "sporty." The palette that year was all about stealth wealth-shifting away from the "look-at-me" chrome of the early 2000s into something more technical. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era, like Tungsten Metallic and Reflex Silver Metallic. These aren't just greys; they are the colors of a high-frequency trading floor-sharp, cold, and expensive. And for the traditionalists, Medium Blue remains the only way to remind the neighbors you still have a yacht in the Mediterranean.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Thin Paint Era. Even with a badge as heavy as the Spirit of Ecstasy, you aren't immune to the "Robot Efficiency" of the 2010s. While Rolls-Royce still brags about their hand-polished finishes, the reality is that the factory clear coat is applied with laser-guided precision-meaning it's exactly as thick as it needs to be and not a micron more. By now, your 2017 is likely showing the battle scars of the modern highway. Because this clear coat is a high-solids, brittle formula, it doesn't "dent"-it chips. If you look closely at your hood or those massive front fenders, you're probably seeing tiny craters where the paint literally snapped off upon impact with a pebble.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2017 finish, you have to fight the urge to be "generous." In this era of thin factory coats, a giant blob of paint sticks out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tipped applicator to dab the metallic base into the chip, let it shrink down, and repeat until the color is just below the surface. When you apply the clear, do it in two thin passes rather than one heavy drop. These modern metallics like Tungsten rely on the flake laying flat to catch the light correctly; if you "blob" it, the flakes will stand on end and your repair will look like a dark spot from five feet away. Patience is the only way to keep it looking like it just rolled out of Sussex.
