    So at Cars & Coffee Dallas today, there was this SLR that was, according to the owner, painted by Ferrari (he said he sent the parts there and got some deal with them to get it painted) and that makes it the only SLR in the world painted in Giallo Modena or whatever this color is.. he also says he has an SL65 in the same color and is working on getting an SLS in the same color as well.

    (copy pasta from another forum i posted this on haha.)

    It's not subtle.

    I like it in that color.

    Having Ferrari paint it would, I imagine, cost more than the car itself. I have to admit Im skeptical.

    And with Ferrari's paint quality... the bigger question would be why? With the typical ferrari orange peel,... the car could look like a squashed lemon.

    I don't get it, but that's OK, the owner seems to have loads of cash so why not.

    Yeah I thought it was a bit fishy at first too.. but whatever works I guess. Not sure why he wouldn't just get it color matched or get it from Mercedes in yellow, which, iirc, has been done before..

    Yep, it's not as if the Giallo paint code is any form of secret, just get the paint mixed and get Mercedes to paint it properly !
