Mako Report post Posted July 24, 2009 The UV coating that they use on the ZR-1 is $60,000 a gallon. In other words, who cares. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuvolari Report post Posted July 24, 2009 The whole color 'patent' thing is a load of bull as I have seen computer paint matches on numerous cars without Lambos 'involvement'. Remember that OEM paint will change color over time so a formula mixed batch will never match properly. This guy is selling you a whole lotta sizzle and not a lot of steak. Pearl paint is expensive but not $2200 a gallon nor the $450 a gallon he wants. As for the ZR1 clear it is important to note that the $60K figure has been widely misrepresented. It is not the clear that costs $60K a gallon but rather an additive that is mixed with the clear in an incredibly small amount per gallon. As such I remember reading a calculation of the number of ZR1's that could be painted with 1 gallon of the additive and it added up to several years worth of production.

abolfaz Report post Posted July 25, 2009 I have several gallons at my disposal that I can sell you for $50 dollars less than that amount. How many gallons would you like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_B Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks, I don't need any at this time, just wanted to know if what he said in the ad was bogus or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
