The car color codes of the MASERATI

There are around a hundred color references for the Italian luxury car brand.
These paints are listed on our professional color software and we have the recipes for 90% of the brand's colors since the 1960s.

Depending on the model year of your vehicle, the colors differ and the paint version that will be offered to you too :
this is explained by the fact that the paints were different before the 2000s than they are not today. Concretely, metallic or pearl type paints have become the norm from the 2000s, whereas previously there were certainly some metallic paints based on aluminium, but a large part of the colors were simple, opaque colors, without pearlescent or metallic pigments.
The appearance of these modern paints, more beautiful and more technical, produced a change in the formulation and form of delivery of the paints. And this is of course the case for all Maserati color codes or almost after the year 2000.

It should be understood that, when you want to paint a metallic paint according to a Maserati color code, this is only possible in the "Matt base to varnish" paint version. These paints are also called 1C paints (for one component) in contrast to the old lacquer type paints, thick and shiny paints, delivered with a hardener, which were also called 2C polyurethane paints (for two components).

No, it is not possible to prepare a direct gloss paint for a pearl or metallic Maserati color code, quite simply for this reason : the matt primers allow the very thin layer of paint to dry immediately, while that glossy paints require at least 15 minutes to freeze, which unfortunately gives the pigments time to migrate or move: on horizontal and vertical surfaces, this creates a visual "marbling" defect.

The history of the manufacturer MASERATI

Maserati was created in 1914 by the brothers of the same name. It is a car manufacturer of Italian origin, totally dedicated to the manufacture of luxury and sporty vehicles. Maseratis are known for being high-end sedans with powerful engines.
The Maserati family is made up of seven brothers, all very involved in the automotive field. From 1914, they manufacture bicycles and motorcycles. He embarked on the first automobile project intended for racing in 1922, with the production of very reliable, enduring vehicles equipped with 2-litre V8 engines.
It was in 1926 that the first car in the name of Maserati was launched and it was a car intended for racing. It then becomes the direct competitor of their neighbors Bugatti. In 1937, the family brand was sold to the Orsi family. During the Second World War, like all car companies of the time, the factories were requisitioned to produce equipment for the war. It was after the war that Maserati was to find the road to success, notably with the hiring of a Fiat engineer. In 1968, Maserati was bought by Citroën, which allowed some innovations and leaps forward in mechanics. In the 21st century, the Maserati brand is one of the most prestigious car brands. It posted excellent sales until 2019 when it saw its sales drop by half. However, it remains a safe bet in the automotive world.
