How to Paint a Lamborghini

There are many ways to customize a Lamborghini without purchasing expensive accessories. The most obvious way to make your Lamborghini distinct is to paint your car in your favorite color, with special accents to set you apart from other drivers. You need to take care when painting a Lamborghini to avoid harming the car's stylish exterior.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Drip pan
• White Lamborghini model car
• Paint sprayer
• Cans of car paint
• Sandpaper
• Tape and brown paper

1. Speak with a mechanic or Lamborghini salesperson about colors promoted through the automaker. There are about 100 color shades available for new Lamborghini drivers who want authentic looks, without the price of professional painting.
2. Inspect your Lamborghini for dents and defects that need to be repaired before you paint your car. You should use sandpaper to clean off scuffs, and utilize touch-up paint to cover up the bare metal.
3. Clean off your Lamborghini with a thorough wash and wax before proceeding with a paint job. You should be deliberate in cleaning every inch of the Lamborghini to avoid air pockets and dirt showing through your paint job. Use a pressure washer, set on air only, to dry the car.
4. Place brown paper over windows, mirrors and wheels before changing the color of your Lamborghini. You can use simple duct tape and recycled bags to cover areas that should not be touched with paint.
5. Research your city's ordinances for mixing paints and other potentially toxic materials within your own home. These laws may make the decision to seek professional-paint jobs for you. You should also seek information on disposal areas for mixed paints you do not plan on using.
6. Apply a light spray of paint after you have utilized a full coating, creating even coloring throughout the entire vehicle. You should use a normal sprayer, from a distance, to create a mist of paint instead of an even stream.
7. Test out different paint combinations on a white Lamborghini model to see how it will look on your car. You should narrow down your choice of colors to two or three, cutting down on model building time and money.

Tips & Warnings

• Request an extensive portfolio from a professional painter before you acquire her services. An experienced painter or custom auto-shop owner should have plenty of photos and testimonials from satisfied customers. You should look for a painter who has worked with Lamborghinis in the past.
