1. Pearl White Multi-Coat Touch-Up Paint

One of the finest touch-up paint colors in the market, the pearl white multi-coat is an excellent choice for hiding dirt and minor scratches. This is because most scratches are a light color, easily concealed with either silver or white touch-up paints. 

Save for being one of the more inexpensive options in the market, the pearl white multi-coat touch-up paint also scores highly when it comes to ease or care. 

If you’re wondering which Tesla color you should get, I’ve made it simple for you. I’ve revealed the most popular choices. So, check out this article to ease your mind.

2. Deep Blue Metallic Touch-Up Paint

The deep blue metallic color is in its true element during daytime. This is because it pops up in conditions of bright sunlight.

However, you may notice a difference in appearance during nighttime because it takes on a more purplish appearance. 

3. Silver Metallic Touch-Up Paint

Like the pear white color, silver metallic is ideal for concealing scratches. It is also easy to take care of, giving your car a clean, glossy look. 

The silver metallic color is also effective at concealing dirt, particularly during the winter. It is easy to keep up over time and does not fade, unlike darker shades. 

4. Blue Metallic Touch-Up Paint

Like the deep blue metallic color, blue metallic is also an ideal choice for the daytime.

It does a decent job concealing minor scratches while also giving your Tesla a nice, bold appearance. 

5. Titanium Metallic Touch-Up Paint

The titanium metallic touch-up color is also an excellent option to conceal scratches while giving your car a glossy appearance.

This touch-up ensures that any imperfections are barely noticeable even during the night. 

6. Midnight Silver Metallic Touch-Up Paint

Suppose you want to give your Tesla a nice finished look while concealing more prominent marks such as scraped mirrors or scuffed bumpers.

In that case, the midnight silver metallic touch-up color offers an excellent solution. 

7. Red Multi-Coat Touch-Up Paint

The red multi-coat touch-up paint works well to conceal a few scuffs or dings, especially on the lower rocker panels.

Apply this multi-coat touch-up paint gently and leave it to dry for best results.

8. Obsidian Black Metallic Touch-Up Paint

The obsidian black metallic is arguably one of the best colors, especially on the Tesla Model 3 and S.

Thanks to its metallic flake, this gorgeous touch-up color is a good option for concealing scratches while accentuating your car’s finishing.

9. Signature Red Touch-Up Paint

You can make a bold statement with this signature red touch-up color option. A rare, rich red hue, this color will definitely make your car stand out from the rest. 

If you are one of the 1,000 owners of the 2016 Tesla Model X Signature Series, this touch-up color will do a great job in covering noticeable chips and giving your car a rich, radiant glow. 

10. Solid Black Touch-Up Paint

Considered the best color finish during nighttime, this touch-up paint pairs elegance with a striking appearance. It also communicates your sense of class.

However, although it looks fantastic, be warned that this color is perhaps the most difficult to keep clean and maintain.

How Can I Ensure the Touch-Up Color Matches My Car?

One of the common challenges of selecting the right touch-up color is finding the right option that matches perfectly with your car. It is important to remember that when buying a touch-up paint online, the image provided may not match the actual paint color of your vehicle.

You can ensure the touch-up color matches your car by verifying that you are buying the correct option. Make sure you compare the color code of your car’s paint and the color code on the touch-up paint before placing an order.

A common cause of this mismatch might be that the color on the computer screen is either darker or lighter than it actually is, depending on your viewing angle. Your eyes can also deceive you so to be on the safe side, I recommend making sure the color code on the touch-up paint matches your car’s.

How Do I Locate My Tesla’s Color Code?

You can locate your Tesla’s color code by checking the identification sticker on the car. Follow these steps to locate this identification sticker:

• Open the driver-side door of the car.

This kit provides everything you need to cover up paint chips and debris and clean up after completing the touch-up for a smooth, finished appearance. 

EV Speedy’s Take
