NOTE! This thread is picture heavy!

Hi CL,

Just wanted to share my latest mod! Car ended up getting a complete color change, along with the brakes, and other miscellaneous parts/accents.

Color: Lamborghini Grey [Grigio Telesto] (brakes are Lamborghini Yellow [Giallo Maggio])
Paint Used - BASF Glasurit
Painted by: Jesus @ German Auto Body (NorCal)

The color is pretty neat, it has a nice subtl green / teal pearl in the sun. The hue of the grades change with respect to light. The color is in between the Nebular grey (which is much darker and more pearly and the Scion Grey (which is way lighter and more pastel like).

You really have to see the car in person

Pictures looked good on my iPhone, but for whatever reason when I uploaded to photobucket, the quality diminished, so I apologize in advanced for that; but you get the gist of what occurred


I. Repaint Begins

Thanks buddy! TBH I loved the grey from you car back when I first saw it in person at pursuit. Ever since then I was sold on the grey color. It wasnt until I seen a Lamborghini LP a couple years ago at Sonic that I was sold on this color combo / setup. Definately had inspiration from your build bro

Thanks buddy. The car was down for a long while, I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly, with no cut corners. Ive had the car back for a month or so but was hesitant to post up pictures. Its still not completely done.

That is one of my favorite colors! I'm actually in the process of picking out my next wrap color which might end up being this shade of grey.

Car looks awesome!
