    Fellow Ferrarians,

    The grey intakes on the front of my 2007 F430 with Tour de France paint had some tar or stains on those intakes. I tried to clean it and managed to change the color of the plastic on that spot, arghhhh.

    My question: Are these painted or just colored grey plastic? If they are painted, is there a factory color, or a recommended polish to buff out the discoloration?

    Thanks folks.

    Boaf

    They are painted, I believe with a matte/satin clear. Its a grey paint code but I don't recall. Its been posted here a few times if you search it.

    Careful as there are a few grey colors used. I used the one above and it was not a match. I have a 2008 Rosso Corsa. So far I have not been able to find the code for mine. I’ll eventually just take a piece of my diffuser to get matched.

    It wasn't for me either, I assume my paint is original as its only 5k miles old but who knows
