Mclaren paint

hey guys !! New member
here.

So... Im making a 3d model of the 2011 mclaren mp4-12c, and strugling to make a car paint that looks like the mp4-12c volcano paint. Do you guys have any info about how the paint is made ?
How many & what coats/ layers it have ? The reflection of each ? The rgb of the colors used ?

Any info about the paint will be very useful.

Thanks !

Here's some info that was shared on another forum which might help your cause. The post reads a little strange - I think it was pulled from something else but there are some good details:

DOS(depthofsine) is official detailer to my Rybrook McLaren in the UK dealership and i wanted to know about the paint finish and refinishing as im going to be working on the cars. Not many people ask about the paint but its the biggest aesthetic part of the car, it was a good technical amswer and i have a good feeling the finish will look very good.


1. can you find out what the paint refinishing process will be on the
McLaren,

2. are the cars painted by hand and are they using a ceramic clear
coat,

Yes the cars are painted by hand using refinish materials, no the cars are not finished in a ceramic clear (a ceramic clear will not give us the results we require from our flat and polishing process), it is a polyurethane acrylic clear with high gloss and very good paint performance properties.

3. will the cars be colour sanded to remove orange peel, or just
machined polished?

I do not recognise the colour sanded process, we will be machine flatting the upper surfaces of the vehicle to level the paint surface and then machine polishing to a high gloss.

4. what are extras steps to the more expensive paint
finish you are selling?” i.e is there any process difference from Standard, Special and Elite paints ?

The standard colours are a mix of solid and standard metallic colours.
The special colours are formulated with pearl and/ or Xirallic pigments which give off multi effect colours in direct sunlight.
The Elite range have specialised formulations which give of the most dramatic effects and colour vibrancy in direct sunlight, they are a mix of 2 stage and 3 stage paint processes.
