McLaren paints Volcano Orange and Volcano Red cars with a silver metallic paint and then a tinted clear coat?

Cause I didn't know that. And that is very interesting.

That's how they make them so shiny. But I still can't unsee the amber reflector in the front, because you ruined these cars for me.

I do basically the same thing... with my miniatures... so I'm practically a paint engineer for McLaren.

One of the coolest things about super cars is super paint. When a car costs hundreds of thousands of dollars it's not crazy for the paint job alone to cost more than a V6 Accord.

I wonder how much it costs to fix a fender bender when the fancy McLaren paint or Ferrari special order 3 layer was used.

Bah! McLaren and their expensive fancy paints! Mazda does the same thing for thousands less! (Now if they could only fix that clearcoat orange-peel problem).

Probably tens of thousands of dollars!

On the topic of the RC-F, I don't think it looks too bad, and I think it will almost definetly sound better than the M4.
