Gembella diamond paint job 'world's most expensive'
Want to be a diamond geezer? This is the car for you…
A car company has announced it will offer the world's most expensive
paint job where customers stump up £200,000 to have their motor covered
in diamonds.
Engineering
outfit Gemballa is known for taking super-fast Porsches and turning
them into even quicker vehicles, but now the German company has switched
its attentions to above the bonnet with equally impressive results.
It’s launching the world’s first diamond coating service for the inside and outside of cars.
Although
the firm has refused to reveal the exact price of the paint job, a
spokesperson revealed it could comfortably exceed the value of one their
cars- which typically cost in excess of £200,000.
A specialist
team will grind the diamonds into a size small enough that they can be
painted onto the car’s bodywork without losing that all important
sparkle.
Gemballa has promised that the service will be "more
than just a special paint", describing it as a "very special gem that
should be equally attractive to both ladies and gentlemen of
sophistication".
The firm’s CEO, Andreas Schwarz, added: "When
Gemballa speaks of diamonds, we really mean it. Our complex process uses
genuine diamonds as its key ingredient - not metal pigments, glass
fragments, or crystals.”
