Where can I find my Maserati’s paint code?
The most common place to find your paint code is under the hood near the firewall on the driver’s side. If it is not there, check under the hood by the middle firewall or on the driver's side door jamb.
Maserati codes are not standard across models. The code is most often either a six-digit number or the written name of the paint color. It may also be a three or four-digit number or an alphanumeric code.
Once you have found the label, there are a variety of online resources to help you decipher the code, like

Paint touch-up tips
Once you’ve found your paint code and purchased your paint kit, it’s time to get the project started. Doing it right will require a few days and some patience. The coats take a while to dry, so make sure you set the necessary time aside between each coat.
Here are some helpful tips if it’s your first time touching up a car paint job.
- If rust is in the area that needs painting, use sandpaper and/or a wire brush to get rid of it before you start painting.
- Before you start, make sure you clean the area well with soap and water. If there is a build-up of any contaminants in the area, then you might need to grab something a little more serious, like a degreaser.
- Once the area is prepped, apply primer to any bare metal or plastic you’ll be painting. Once the primer is completely dry, gently sand the area to smooth it out.
- Paint the area by applying two or three layers, allowing at least 20 minutes between layers. Let the final coat dry overnight.
- Add the clear coat. Like the paint, apply two to three layers with at least 20 minutes between. Let the final coat dry overnight.
- After everything is fully dry, buff the area with a polish to make it shine.
