Body and paint guys are special people. Especially the talented ones. I havent seen a color yet that doesnt fit this car. I hope they dont go with the lime green like lambo.

They offer a lot of colors similar to the common Lamborghini colors, though. "Fresh green" is pretty similar to "Verde Ithaca" (maybe just a shade lighter), "orange" is pretty close to Lamborghini's yellow-ish "Giallo", and "sunset orange" is pretty close to Lamborghini's orange-ish "Arancio" (maybe a shade darker). BTW, you absolutely cannot go off the configurator for these colors (or most of them, for that matter) as they differ tremendously from the samples that we order from.

4) With a tight schedule, it's important to know what trim pieces and badging—sometimes called “jewelry”—must be removed, and what can be masked. “This being a prototype, you want to handle it delicately,” explains Technical Services Manager Billy Stavridis. “We try not to remove too many pieces, because we know there aren't any replacement pieces available [if something breaks].”

I was at the LA Auto Show last weekend and had a chance to get a glimpse of the smoky granite LFA, a few things I noted; the paint job did seem rushed, and I understand that, there was orange peel and waves all over the doors not Lexus like quality. None the less I liked the interior leather
