    In many ads for late model Ferraris, especially on eBay; sellers like to take a picture of the yellow PPG color sticker/label.

    The 575M I am considering was painted an out of range paint colour. Would my car have the yellow PPG sticker and most likely, what would it say?

    Thanks.

    Even custom colors are assigned a paint code and a name. The sticker would reflect that.

    Here are samples of the paint stickers you can expect to see. Out of range indicates it is an existing color and, like Brian said, already has a color code associated with it. Paint to sample is a bit more complicated.

    Even paint to sample usually does. The name is often just the clients name and a code needs to be recorded for duplication purposes, even in house ones in the event more paint is needed.

    I once saw the entire list of Ferrari paint colors and codes. It was quite long. Quite a few with names.

    So what were the "standard" colors for 2003 575M's so I can rule them out on the color website that you posted?

    Brian- Thanks for that bit. Did not know that. Here are the standard Ferrari colors for 2004. Pretty much the same for a few years earlier and later.

    Do not think I have ever seen a crema interior mixed with cuoio. Should be pretty if you can keep it clean.

    So out of the list of blues on the website that was referenced earlier --- after eliminating the standard colors; that leaves:

    *Azzurro Hyperion
    *Blu Chiaro
    *Blu Sera
    *Blu Medio

    as the most likely colors of this 575M.

    Eh. Not too crazy about the shades that are left but we'll see what happens when I see the car.
