What`s Black, Grey and Red all over?? New Ferrari 458 Color Scheme

[imported_JoshVette]

After detailing a Ferrari California the owner was so happy with the work performed that he called his buddy who just took delivery of a 458 and I was leaving when I got a last second call from his buddy to do a quicky on this 458 while I was on my way out so I swung by to check it out.



I`ve only seen less then a hand full of these so far but this color scheme was dynamite.



It was late and dark out I didn`t have time to document anything plus it was only a quicky, nothing fancy or special, maybe next time I do it...



This 3 day old Ferrari 458 Italia was quite dirty so I did the usual wash, QD wipe down, rims, tires, brakes, windows, door jambs and everything else cleaned up and dressed to make ready for a show this weekend, I did not touch the interior.



Wish I had more to say but that`s about it....

Here`s the pics, quality is not great as it was dark out and lighting in the parking garage was poor. It is what it is. I will get some sunlight pics next time I do this car as well as a more thorough detailing.



I had to set up shop in a parking garage next to the valet, they did not mind though. ;)

Round two...



I love the black top, grey rims, black brakes and red color, I think it`s a perfect combo.

you have to see it in person and take you time looking at all the different facets it has, very unique design, out of all the F cars I`ve done, I think this one is the most sexy and cool design I`ve seen. It makes me think of taffy, like they just wrapped warm taffy all around the frame and painted it red. ha




Looks great Josh!



thanks, I`ve got a few more I`m waiting on owners to pick up so I`m even more excited now that I`ve done one.




that is 1 amazing lookin car....



yes it is.

Yes hopefully, the black top was hazy and needs to be polished out, but I`m not sure the owner knows what paint correction is, we`ll see what happens.

Barry, I honestly did not even have a chance to evaluate the paint with lighting, I had no electricity in this garage and the lighting sucked as you can see, but next time I`m going to talk him into detailing it at his home and not at his work, again it was a very last second call and I really did not have time for it in my schedule so it was not a serious detail. I`ve got a few owners waiting on there`s though so I`m hoping to take one the distance soon.

HAH Josh! I was at the Ferrari Festival this weekend and this car was there with 2 other 458s :) Good job buddy! I took lots of pictures too!

Apparently, all the INsensitive people are leaning on the car while taking pictures, with their zippers rubbing against the paint and all...

Dang, I did not want to hear that..... ha



Well, maybe I`ll be doing some sanding and polishing next time around.... I also did that black Ferrari California if you happen to see that one too, he`s picking up a black 458 in the near future as well. good times...

[anson89]

Yes I did! The show was excellent. They were just missing an Enzo.



But really, good job on the 458. My dream car for sure! I wish I worked on a 458 :(
