    What is the most exotic paint you have seen on a Ferrari? Please post the simply bold or most high tech multi dimensional chameleon effect you have seen. Personally I love a little pearl in paint. Works with yellow nicely for a dramatic sunset. What have you seen that caught your eye? What would you like to see?

    I really like the metallic/pearls of almost any color. Saw one car in a beautiful deep metallic blue; my eyes just fell into its depths. Front-engine, modern Ferrari, but I didnt catch the model...

    Then there's old school 901C which looks good all the time if you can control things like dust ;)

    I know it's not available on a Ferrari (I guess if you had the money and were crazy enough, you could get it on one), but the Reflex colors that were offered on TVRs win this hands down.

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about.

    That's similar to the mystic on the mustang cobras. They had the greenish, blue tint that changed. Not really my thing, but still cool.
    Personally I love a heavy metallic or pearl. I've seen some pearls that looked like the paint was inches thick. Also like the hot rods that do the ghost flames with a metallic or pearl of the same color. Just looks awesome.

    Yes! Can you say "candy pearl"? I just made that up. Ghost flames or stipes are so hot they absolutly melt in the right light. The force is strong in painters that can do that.

    I've seen this paint done on the Discovery Channel. Relitively new process. However, looks like what you see on the moon.

    Thats one of the best looking cars Ive seen in a long time. I prefer that to anything Ferrari, Lambo, Lotus, Porsche has done in the past ~10 years
