Liquid Metal paints

Porsche created two special paints for the 918 Spyder in 2015 which were used as communication colors in the marketing material.

These paints go through a special painting process that requires 9 coats of which the metallic flake is precisely aligned by magnets. These are then finished with an additional 3 layers of clear coat. All this combined creates a unique depth in the paint which has to be seen in person as it doesn't really come across on camera.

While they came with a hefty price tag of ~ € 50k / $ 63k they were still very popular with almost 200 Liquid Metal cars between the two. Although it must be said that Liquid Metal Silver was by far the most popular.

These paints were exclusively reserved for the 918 at the time, although we're aware of at least one car (991 GT3 RS) of which the owners were able to option the Liquid Metal Chrome Blue paint.
