Smile Finished - Lamborghini Murcielago (Arancio Atlas Pearl)

I present to you the gorgeous Lamborghini Murcielago.

The exterior paint is Cobra Colors' 'Arancio Atlas Pearl'. An authentic Lamborghini color.
It's a 3 stage paint (midcoat/topcoat/clear), and it came out fantastic.
I highly recommend these awesome Lamborghini pearls.
The color is extremely hard to photo. I hope you get some idea of the color.
The pearls can make parts of the car look yellow, and other parts bright orange.

The wheels are stock, with the centers painted black.
The interior was painted 3 shades of tan/brown, and black.

I modified the front windshield as Veyron did.
Lowered it front and back, and widened the front track 2.5mm per side.

I hope you enjoy

Re: Finished - Lamborghini Murcielago (Arancio Atlas Pearl)

hmm I like it a lot... painjob looks great! only little detail is the placing of the front decal, you might want to move it back a little... IMHO

Re: Finished - Lamborghini Murcielago (Arancio Atlas Pearl)

I got to have one of these and that colour is just spot on, hard to photo or not I love it. Isn't it annoying when you have that fabolous paint job and can't show people what it really looks like. I have the same problems with my ongoing Ferrari Daytona, it looks nothing in the pics that it does in real life.

Thanks Oli! I know the decal is supposed to be on the hood, but I don't think it looks good there. So I moved it to the nose.

Thanks guys!

Re: Finished - Lamborghini Murcielago (Arancio Atlas Pearl)

a little comment on the italian car shift knob...
the shift knob could be replace with a steel ball, which can be found in a tiny bearing, or you can go to Ace hardware to get a size that fit on it. hope that helps.
