I have posted on here once...NOt here any more...Anyway.....Maserati paint options confuse me...In the MC Stradale brochure it has Fuji down as special paint and then Matt....No was is it Matt...Med blue and Gringio is also down as Metallic and then under Matt.............Wonder if it's an error in print..Hope it's just mone and then it may be worth more...

Ah there it is above......................Spooky....
I think they have introduced Bianco, Blue Med and Grey as a Matt paint, dont understand why Maserati have done this because who is going to spend 15k on paint??

Just had a look and yes Fuji is a matt colour as well at 15k...Christ.........I see they have the price of the MC Stradle...110k....Which is what they said......I specced one though and it came to 128k

110 seems about right Adam as its 1k more than a GT3 RS and a well specced GT3 RS is over 120k......OK the GT3 I would imagine will be the better track car but then there isn't much to touch it to be honest.

Adam, even though I love the M3 GTS I really don't think it's in the same class as the others....A CSL is as quick on track..

You could do the same thing with a vinyl wrap for £1500 and at least you could peel it off when it went out of fashion.

dont vinyl wraps look a bit tatty after a while though?? I mean, i bet they chip easy with stones etc and do they fade?

I think it depends how many miles (chips) and where its stored (out of sunlight) but 1 year is an average.

Wraps are a waste of time, when you take it off you will need to spray some panels....better off spraying it the colour yiu want and then putting it back if you want to sell

The chap from EVO with the Nissan GTR had his wrapped in purple (YUK) I saw it at the Pistonheads show and thought it looked a mess....He has taken it off now and he did say the panelswere OK...But I have heard of people spending a £1000 getiing their car back to the condition it was before the wrap...Not for me.
