    Hey All,

    This paint matches perfectly, I mean perfectly….. remember, paint work is all about prep work and patience. If you paint your own, make sure to have proper steps of sandpaper, clean it very well, wait for the perfect day (no wind and temp and humidity) and take your time with many thin coats.

    Caveat: if you have black trim. Grigio Silverstone has black and presumably Nero, but most have metallic grey.

    I had some paint mixed to code 236430, chomo grigio corsa met, but it is just not right. Too silvery. . This was a code from a thread on here. Awaiting info from factory.

    I didn’t know this! My friends F430 is red and mine is grey, so we have both used this paint.

    That's interesting. Red should have grey :)

    There's a problem at the moment, Mike. I had the same experience and didn't get to the bottom of it. Previously the paint had been a perfect match out of the tin. I ended up mixing my own Grigio Corsa using a blend of Vauxhall greys.

    It's possible that there has been a rationalisation of the paints because some shades of Rosso Corsa have disappeared from the PPG range. Very strange.

    You assume that the paint mixing machine is calibrated ok. Taking ages to get the details from the factory

    You can have a regular body shop just mix up touch up matched to the panel and some matte clear. Before I switched to Carbon Fiber engine panels I had one of my panels repainted because it bubbled from the heat. They gave me some extra touch up at the same time.

    Thanks Mike, that's the one. A recent job with that paint was too silver. Didn't get to the bottom of it after multiple attempts at new mixes. Previous orders were spot-on.
