SV-N-IT Report post Posted January 13, 2016 I went with a matte finish baby blue, a shade of blue between Blu Cepheus and Celeste Phoebe, that will be called BLU SEILER (named after my son's middle name). The process started back in 2013 when I built my new 2014 Aventador Roadster and met the Ad Personam Director (APD) at the factory. Kept up in communication and built a relationship. When the SVR came out, I reached out to him again and said let's build an even more special car and that's when I proposed a custom paint color. When I proposed the matte baby blue, APD said that color has never been produced out of the factory and would be a great color. We confirmed on that color prior to all those other blue cars unveiled in 2015 (Blu LeMans SVR at Quail and Blu Cepheus Huracan Spyder at Frankfurt). I was like "man, all these blue cars now!" So on my end, the process was as simple as asking for it, but on the Lambo end, I'm sure it was more involved. It did take couple of month to confirm by Lambo that both my color scheme and name were approved. Blu Seiler will be a paint color available to order on any new Lambos ONLY AFTER my SVR is built. In selecting the name itself, I had all the reign to choose whatever I wish with APD's suggestions and of course with Lambo's final approval. As a pleasant surprise, APD had an actual AV rear panel painted in my new color with the prototype large SV logo in matte CF for my build meeting last October so I can appreciate and see my new paint color. LOVED IT!! I reached out to Kris Singh on his experience when I was seeking approval, kris told me that he didn't request his paint, Lambo just named it after him so he never went through the same process. Truly honored to have such great relationship with the APD and to Lamborghini on both of my new car built experiences! Simply speechless to be able to have a new paint color named after my son! sick color and great experience! congrats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamSalamone Report post Posted January 13, 2016 WTF that is the greates color!! I love love love it!!!! this is really great and bleu black trim ... SICK!! its matte .. so its all you idk about delivery dates. once again I think I am "first" or close to it .. but I was more like 3rd in US last time. I wont fly a car in and it will take me 3-5 weeks to make it into a rally car. I don't drive them until wrap is on... (interestingly enough when it comes off after I use the car .. paint has never seen sunlight , and its perfect for next owner. The AVSV roadster is the one I will keep forever It is my 4th aventador and by the time I get it I waill have been on 9 major rallies with over 150k great moments behind the Aventador wheel. When I get it I will use that car to go around the entire globe to celebrate the 50th anniversary of my birth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToofDoc Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks everyone. If the car comes out the way that I have on paper, then it'll be one show stopper for sure! There will also be some pretty cool new unique Ad Personam items that APD and I came up together which we will all see upon delivery. Now...the wait will continue until I get the announcement of when my build date will start. That's why I like this thread because we can share/update on our build progress and when we all will start getting our SVRs.

Fortis Report post Posted January 15, 2016 Just the standard - but what I was thinking of doing was putting on a clear Matte wrap That's a good idea, I went for Bianco Canopus which is essentially the same look you will achieve with the wrap you want to do.

rhyno Report post Posted January 16, 2016 Toof, can you tell me how much the paint to sample costs? You can PM me if you don't want it in public. I wonder if matte paint to sample costs more than a normal paint to sample color. I heard its about $25,000 CDN for paint to sample Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
