Matt black body parts are now a growing trend with prestige carmakers. Lamborghini was one of the pioneers in this field when it introduced the Black Gallardo in 2006. It used a matt finish to highlight particular car body details, something that many other manufacturers also now do.

The progression of matt colours is a direct result of the close collaboration between Lamborghini and PPG Refinish. This has led to the development of PPG’s new D8113 clear matt coat, designed to create a sports car effect and to accentuate models’ styling features.

In order to achieve a finish in line with Lamborghini quality using this new product, PPG has also developed new techniques and showcased these in a Lamborghini approved training course. The company has also developed a special finishes paint manual for the Lamborghini Aftersales network.
