TESLA car paintwork

The automotive paint market relies on numerous colour codes issued by manufacturers, notably the American car colour codes TESLA . These references enable both bodywork professionals and private individuals to identify a specific shade precisely, in order to carry out a spot repair or a full repaint.

TESLA, a manufacturer specialising in electric vehicles, has established itself as one of the world’s best-known car brands. Since its very first models, the brand has offered a range of vehicles whose bodywork features specific colours, identified by manufacturer colour codes. These references are particularly useful when carrying out repairs, touch-ups or a full repaint of the bodywork.

A small amount of paint may be required to touch up a limited area of the bodywork, such as a wing, a door, a bumper or a wing mirror. For more extensive work, it is also possible to estimate the quantity needed to completely repaint a single component or the entire vehicle.

TESLA car colour codes

As with other car manufacturers, Tesla uses reference codes to identify the colours of its vehicles. The colour code is linked to a specific name and enables the selection of the formulation corresponding to the vehicle.

Tesla’s technical documents list references such as PPSB for Deep Blue Metallic, PMNG for Midnight Silver Metallic, PPSW for Pearl White Multi-Coat, PBSB for Solid Black, PN00 for Quicksilver, PN01 for Stealth Grey and PR01 for Ultra Red. These references may vary depending on the model and year of the vehicle.

Using the colour code is essential to minimise errors when ordering paint for a Tesla. A colour may also be available with different finish characteristics, including solid, metallic or tri-coat metallic, depending on the reference.

Each colour code corresponds to a specific formulation. Car paint manufacturers produce matching colours based on the manufacturer’s part numbers in order to reproduce the colours required for repair and bodywork.

The history of the manufacturer TESLA
