Which black for 812?

Nero Daytona which I have is amazing. Lot of flake. Had the car buffed out once received like all my Ferrari’s to really show the sparkle of metallic paint.

 

have you considered nero stellato which is black but with a gold metallic component?

How subtle is the metallic component? I specced Nero Stellato for my Pista stripes on top of Rosso Fuoco.

 

The color Nero Stellato is much darker than Nero Daytona which looks almost grey by comparison. The Nero Stellato has a red to bronze sheen to it which manifests itself as red highlights or red stars (stelle is star in Italian) every square inch or so. There is also a hint of gold which some describe as bronze. The stars are described as being quite subtle. I don't think Nero Stellato for the stripes will overwhelm your Rosso Fuco but rather will be the perfect compliment to your paint choice. Not sure how you came up with it but I like the idea of combining those two colors for your Pista spec!

 

Here is the paint color combination Onno chose for his 458 Italia, Rosso Maranello over Nero Stellato. The 'red stars' can be clearly seen in this view>

The paint is perhaps seen as a bit too bright or washed out looking in the sunlight. However the earlier indoor showroom picture shows how dark the Nero Stellato can appear.

 

Is there such a thing as triple layer black? I’m not a big fan of Daytona as it is almost brown.

 

Don’t know what you mean. I have a ND FF that I’ve never confused for brown nor has anyone suggested seeing brown in the color!

Nor gray for that matter...

I just think it is black with a brownish tint in bright sunlight.

 

I've owned a Ferrari Nero non-metallic for sometime and it always looked marvelous when it was clean and IMO few colors can match that indescribable beauty of a pure Nero. To evaluate how stunning this Nero paint color looks there is only one way , you have to contemplate it alive. Probably this is one of the most difficult paint colors to maintain pristine because any finger print or stain will show immediately specially on a sunny day. Mine had the ceramic coating and I managed to keep it looking very good most of the time by performing a regular task that took maximum 10 minutes. Sometimes I didn't wash the car for more than a month but I carry in the boot a bottle of the Chemical Guys fast wiping liquid which I always applied to remove dust and other stains after I went for a ride. Paint swirls are one of the big enemies of the Neros because they are much more visible than in other colors and the normal cause for them is the incorrect use of the cloth while wiping by using too much pressure as well as circular movements. If the car is wrapped and has the ceramic coating the possibility of causing swirls is considerably reduced.
Having a Nero looking good works like a successful marriage because you only get back what you put into it.

 

GTC4Lusso in Nero Stellato, it's actually sparkling black.



On a side note, it's not a cheap option, costs ca. $30,000.

 

For future readers Nero stellato 488. I think the picture captures the sparkle

There is also Nero Rubino. I saw a 458 tailor made with the red flake under black.

 

Between the two, I think the non metallic will work best with the 812's lines.

 

I had Nero Daytona on my 599 - it looked very nice when clean, but was very hard to maintain in that condition (which is usual for all black colors I guess).

 

I agree about the lines but I think it’s a minority opinion? I just bought a Nero F12 and many argued against that color.

I love it.

Hi Jason
I have ordered my California, F12 and F12tdf all in Nero Daytona. It is a proper Black. Not grey. I have a GLE coupe in obsidian black. Nero Daytona is almost the same ie a metallic black. Not sure the special order blacks are worth the extra money.

 

Nero Daytona is definitely black, Nero Stellato is not more black but more "metallic".
