Need Info on How Ferrari Creates their Triple-layer Paint

Talk to a PPG paint specialist they can help you. From what I recall, you have a base coat, then a metallic/pearl coat on top then a final clear coat. The base coat provides the main colour . It takes some work to match correctly.

A good paint shop that use PPG can paint your frame. A member of the staff at our local Ferrari dealer had his Caterham done in Fuoco. Looks absolutely perfect - a lot better than any Ferrari or Zanasi paint job I've ever seen.

Ferrari is far from unique in using these tri layers paints, they are just the most expensive. When ordering the paint from PPG, PPG will basically have a list of what the painter needs and in which order to shoot the paint. So, as was said, find a good painter that uses PPG, prep your frame and have them paint it. Considering how much you spend on your bike, don't mess it up by doing it yourself.
