    Thank you! My wife loved Grigio Titanio on the 488 GTB and thought we should stick with a similar light-colored metallic to best highlight the design. I honestly second guessed the stripe myself at times but we’re so happy with the final result. IMHO, the car looks even better in person than in photos; this is true for so many recent Ferraris.

    That paint color has a wonderful classic feel to it! Plus the detail of real sound with NO nasty GPF...
    Certainly a spectacular result.

    Scaglietti’s Celeste Gainsborough (not the blue version) was our initial inspiration after I saw the 250 SWB pics from the 2017 Hampton Court Concours. We went a bit more gray and modern with our version. Appreciate the kind comments.

    Greatly like all the yellow details of the livery. Never seen that stripe on the back between the tail lights before. The blu hembery really comes alive in sunshine. You are very lucky to get that special paint color!!!
    Thank you for sharing your Pista Spider here.

    Looks lovely. Can you comment on how this color differs from some of the other well know deep blues, such as Pozzi, Swatters, TDF, etc. Is it a triplo strato (three layer) metallic paint?

    It’s difficult to explain what kind of blue it is. But in the dark it looks like pozzi. But when the light it’s on it isn’t that dark anymore. I would try to make some photos to share with you.

    If its not wrapped I would say a mixed 70's color.Something between marrone metallizzato opaco with elements of matte verde masoni.I really don't know.It seems brown with a little bit of green.

    It is actually most all of the blues mentioned above and more. In low light sort of flat like pozzi and dark. Then as the light gets stronger the color becomes much more bright going past nuovo blu TdF. Sunshine brings out something different with flecks or tiny dots of turquoise. This tri-strato delivers an amazing range of shades of blue...
    Art collector has a wonderful tailor made blu hembery Pista Spider! More pictures will hopefully show this to good effect.
