    Both don't appear to Fuji. Looks like standard gloss finish.

    Ahhh I see.. thank you for the replies! I guess I prefer Avus when bi-color and Fuji when solid.

    Those were def avus. I ordered Bianco Italia, close to Fuji. I didnt get the black roof, wanted to see how I like it without and if I want a black roof Ill wrap it. There is someone on here who got a fuji with black roof, looked nice actually. Are you ordering a car?

    Nice, congrats with your order. I prefer to buy a well specced used one. But it's not easy to find "OEM" bi-color with the right options. Never heard of Bianco Italia before... now I understand Italia is double layer while Fuji is triple layer.

    Can you guys post some pics of Bianco Italia and versus Bianco Fuji?

    the triple layer Fuji looks amazing...Fernando obviously has great taste. I heard on the triple layer white it's a really complex process to get that metallic in there?

    The triple layers are amazing....for the yellow guys, the Giallo Triplo Strato is also similarly amazing.

    Italia and Fuji are very very close. I have seen both in person. The Italia does have a blueish hue to it in certain light and the Fuji does have a grey hue to it.The price for Italia is about 10k less if that matters. I could have chosen either but still went with Avus.

    As always get the color you like, nothing worse than getting your second choice

    Italia is water based and Fuji is oil based. I'm not sure what the ramifications of that are other than cost. They're both triple layer, IIRC. The triple layer whites look nice, but IMO no so much to justify the cost.

    That would make sense, I believe Bianco Italia water based paint it just better for the environment.

    Someone at the local dealership told me triple layer paints are a nightmare to repair if you get stone chips.

    I know that for some people on this forum money is no object. I have a Nero 458 and instead of paying big money for a Fuji paint job, I wrapped the car in the exact white I liked, leaving the roof in Nero. This then left enough cash for wheels, audio system suspension, plus enough left over for a few wraps down the line when I get bored of white. Lastly the paint will be like brand new when I take the wrap off

    Just my $.02

    Put the clear bra on it and you dont have to worry about chips.

    My spider is fuji with a nero daytona roof, love it and feel its the best color combo for the 458, about chips you dont really need to worry unless you track your car I guess.
