PPG and Lamborghini create latest fashion
For many years PPG has worked closely with Lamborghini to develop colours that will enhance the design of these prestigious Italian automobiles. The introduction of matt finishes is set to be the latest fashion.
Lamborghini was one of the leaders of this trend when it introduced its Black Gallardo in 2006, featuring matt-black body parts. Following this initiative, a growing number of automakers are now using matt finish to highlight particular car body details.
The exciting progression of matt colours is a direct result of the close collaboration between Lamborghini and PPG Refinish. This led to the development of PPG’s new D8113 clear matt coat, designed to create a sports car effect and to accentuate these models’ style.
