Easy come, easy go...

 

We will certainly miss him.....or not.

 

This is not accurate. The original paint is not forever but it takes more than your usual body-shop to get the job done properly without damaging the carbon weave underneath the layers of paint.

Fchat member and well known Ferrari collector Peter M. had his Laf Aperta delivered in red and re-sprayed blue TDF post delivery, to match the rest of his collection. You can find many pictures of his car on fchat.

The owner of the factory delivered baby blue LaFerrari, bluckblu on IG, has his white LaF Aperta also re-sprayed in the same baby blue as his coupe.
There s a recent video on Youtube in which the owner describe the process.

Car collector Sam Li also has his Aperta re-sprayed with his usual colour scheme.

 

you are incorrect sir.

there is only one shop and it's founder, Tony Martino, that has the expertise, tooling and equipment to refinish these cars.

 

Roidmonkey as been grounded and has lost internet privileges by his mother due to not performing his daily chores since June 26.
He did not take out the trash on trash day, June 26th.

 

Also on June 8th, ttforcefed won the internet

 

A La Ferrari can be repainted.

I redid the colour on mine last year to match my f40 and f50.

 

too bad it's been wrapped multiple times!

 

Not entirely following you on this one. Your 2 statements above are kinda contradictory.
Not that it really matters, some LaF, both coupe and Aperta, have already been repainted and I'm pretty sure more will be. I was only putting some example to illustrate this fact.

 

google tony martino.....................

 

It's true that the supercars should never be repainted. At the start of each new super car production run the Pope visits the factory to bless the paint. Here he is on his visit for the F40, famously he only blessed the Rosso Corsa which is why it only came in one colour. This is why Classiche insists repairs should only be done in the original factory colour.

Don't know if serious or not, but that's a lame excuse for Ferrari.

 

I think this Thread has turned "totally not serious" but that is interesting about special colors.

 

Still hoping for roidmonkey to chime in

 

Totally serious, although by the time the Enzo came out he was getting on a bit so Schumacher gave him a model F1 for his grandkids and they took a barrel of Nero to the Vatican for him to bless. It's why the Black cars are worth more.

I have heard it told that Enzo's ghost haunts anyone who dares alter any Ferrari what so ever once its left the hallowed Maranello gates.

Classiche even insist that only Italian air is used in the tyres now before it will issue a certificate.

 

This thread is above my payscale lol

.....but nice reading none the less.

Well. I guess we can conclude that steroids are bad.

Every time I see this thread updated, I have hopes that the OP returned. For shame, he has not.

 

He just figured out hedge funds have nothing to do with landscaping and he experienced a malfunction.

 

Entertaining seeing bogus claims of business from frauds. Usually they are so out of touch with reality that they don't even realize their made up story would make zero sense to someone who actually does it as a living, even to someone at an entry level position.

If these guys had even spent a mere 3-5 months genuinely working their claimed fields, they would be able to fabricate a far more realistic story. The fact that they can't even fabricate a story to that basic level of realism indicates just how little they actually did themselves.

The other guy's (Dansig) watch business story was a good example too. Apparently his very early watch consignment business was generating personal after tax net-profit of $10M+ annually LOL. If he took a single look at existing players in that space he would realize that such a level of growth and profitability in such a low margin space would make his business the most magical unicorn out there, and him likely the youngest billionaire on this planet.
