Try these people. They said they have it. FYI - the new 3 will be offered in this color so likely Tesla will have a kit out when it is released in the US.

Thanks! Just placed an order. Hopefully it’s a good match.

They want $18 for shipping 2 vials of touchup paint... Which I’d be more apt to consider if someone can even confirm it matches…

Bump. Any confirmations on a match for Ultra red?

Edit: just checked dr color chip site and it looks like they may carry it. Anyone tried it yet? Color code PR01

Id like to know too. I may order from them and take the risk. I have used it for the blue on my Model 3 and it worked well. Not completely invisible, but good enough at 5 feet.

I got a scratch on my fender- completely my fault, I think it was from the rivet on my jeans- and I would like some touch up for it.

Don’t order this one, it’s a lie! They don’t have it. just dealing with this hassle now… they listed ultra red separate from multi coat red. But sent multi…

I ordered the Dr. Color Chip set earlier this week. I'll let you know once I receive it. I have 7 chips on my rear driver side door and fender. The rest of my car is fine.

Awesome, thanks. Definitely keep us updated.

It looks like the right stuff from Dr. Color Chip. Color code is right, color looks like it has the black flecks. I'll try my touch ups this weekend.

Yeah I worked on it this Saturday. I watched a ton of videos before to make sure I knew the process and issues that people run in to. It was difficult. I am very detail oriented and patient but I could not get it to work well. Are the scratches covered and not white anymore? Yes. Are they still visible? Absolutely and from 10 feet away can be pointed out. It is an improvement because they aren't these white beacons screaming here I am against my Ultra Red, but I was hoping for more.

The biggest difficulty was that after putting the paint on and letting it dry ( I tried multiple dry times from 1-10 minutes) the solution that is suppose to gently remove the excess around the scratch always removed what was in the scratch as well. It didn't matter what I did.

I ended up just dabbing the paint right in the scratch as best I could after a couple hours of failure. It is what it is. I'll try to find some before pictures and post them.

Looks about how you’d expect. All these touch-up kits are rubbish. The best you can do is hide the white underneath, but that’s about it.

I have used Dr. ColorChip on a number of cars...it's not perfect but I typically get decent results. I assume you used their included cloths for the paint removal process and that you wrapped the cloth over a flat surface object to keep it flat with the surface of the car paint. Also, you need to do the removal process lightly and glide over the spot (no real pressure). It takes a handful of swipes that way to remove the excess paint, but normally leaves the paint inside the chip in place.

I did everything you mentioned. One of the problems I had was the paint would set very quickly and would require a decent amount of pressure to remove.

Yes. It worked fairly well on my MSP ultra red.

Tesla now has Ultra Red (PR01) available in the touch up kits they sell on their website. I just ordered a kit.
