2022 Rolls-Royce Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2022 Rolls-Royce Vibe

Welcome to 2022, where the Ghost and the Cullinan aren't just cars-they're rolling land-yachts for the digital elite. This was the year of the "Quiet Luxury" aesthetic, which translated to a lot of sophisticated, metallic grays and silvers that made the car look like it was carved out of a single block of high-grade alloy. While the factory offered a galaxy of choices, we've focused on the real survivors that define this era: Reflex Silver Metallic and Tungsten Metallic. These aren't just colors; they're armor for the modern titan, designed to catch the LED glow of a midnight city run.

Paint Health Check

You might think spending a king's ransom on a 2022 Rolls-Royce buys you paint thick enough to stop a bullet, but welcome to the Thin Paint Era. Even in Goodwood, "Robot Efficiency" is the name of the game. Modern finishes are applied with surgical precision, which means you're looking at a clear coat that's often thinner than a politician's skin. The reality? These high-solid clears are incredibly hard and scratch-resistant, BUT they are brittle. Because there's so little "meat" on the bone, a standard rock chip on the hood of your Phantom can quickly lead to delamination if moisture gets under that razor-thin edge. And don't get me started on the "orange peel"-even the world's finest luxury cars can leave the factory with a slight texture that's just begging for a careful level-down.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2022 finish, you have to leave your "Old School" habits at the garage door. This isn't the 1960s where you can just dab on a heavy bead and sand it flat. Build your layers slowly; do not blob it. Because modern metallic flakes like those in Tungsten Metallic are so fine, a heavy drop will cause the metal to "sink," making your repair look darker than the surrounding area. Use a toothpick-fine applicator and apply three whisper-thin coats rather than one thick one. This mimics the factory's multi-stage depth and ensures your repair doesn't look like a zit on the face of a supermodel.
